NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams has created a legal defense trust in response to the FBI probe into his 2021 campaign finances.
The fund — first reported by Politico — will allow Adams to raise money to cover legal expenses “in connection with inquiries by the office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York (‘SDNY’) related to the operations of the Eric Adams 2021 mayoral campaign committee,” according to an agreement posted with the city’s Conflicts of Interest Board.
