In the two months since its launch, Mayor Eric Adams’ legal defense trust has raised at least $650,000 to help cover lawyer fees he and his associates rack up as part of an FBI investigation into his 2021 campaign’s finances.
Vito Pitta, Adams’ longtime campaign compliance attorney who helps run the trust, disclosed the fundraising haul in a statement Monday.
“The Eric Adams Legal Defense Trust has drawn strong support in a short amount of time, raising more than $650,000 since it was formed just two months ago,” Pitta’s statement said.
