Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the former Chief Advisor to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, has been indicted on multiple bribery charges related to her actions while in office. The indictment was officially announced on December 19, 2024, revealing that Lewis-Martin faces serious allegations of accepting bribes in exchange for political favors. According to the indictment, the charges stem from an investigation that has been ongoing for several months, focusing on her dealings while serving as a top aide to Adams. Lewis-Martin surrendered to authorities earlier this week, following the indictment that includes several counts of corruption. This legal action adds to the growing scrutiny surrounding the Adams administration. In a statement issued after her surrender, Lewis-Martin said, ‘I have always acted in the best interests of the city and its people. I look forward to clearing my name.’ Mayor Eric Adams has not commented directly on the indictment but has reiterated his commitment to transparency and integrity in his administration.
