Eric Adams Donors Schemed To Influence Mayor, Manhattan DA Alleges
Campaign donors to New York City mayor Eric Adams (D.) plotted in 2020 and 2021 to provide Adams with illegal donations and receive perks from City Hall, according to indictments that Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg (D.) announced on Friday.
Bragg is prosecuting a group of defendants who allegedly came up with a "very organized" scheme to "circumvent campaign finance laws to deliver more money to the Adams campaign" than allowed by law, Politico reported. In an arrangement known as a straw-donor scheme, the defendants allegedly paid other people for donating to the Adams campaign.
The goal was "to use the illicitly obtained haul to seek favorable treatment from City Hall once Adams was elected," according to Politico.
An indictment over a straw-donor scheme brought down a top New York Democrat just last year. Former New York lieutenant governor Brian Benjamin resigned in April 2022 after he was arrested for taking straw donations. While a judge ultimately dismissed the most serious charges, Benjamin still faces two counts of falsifying records.
Although Bragg's office has not charged the mayor's campaign, Adams "appeared to be aware of" at least one of the schemers' fundraisers, Politico reported. Leading up to the fundraisers, one defendant allegedly "approached donors and shared information about getting around contribution limits by using the straw-donor scheme," Bragg's announcement says.
Adams is facing a tough week. The New York Times on Thursday reported that the mayor manipulated a Google printout of a murdered police officer so that he could claim he'd kept the photo in his wallet for decades.

‘Squeezed from Every Direction’: NYPD Cops Continue Leaving Force in Droves
More of New York City’s police officers are reportedly rushing for the exit as crime plagues their communities.
The news comes on the heels of former New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Keechant Sewell’s resignation, even though she would not say why she handed in her notice, NBC New York reported on June 14.
Meanwhile, a New York Post article published Saturday cited data regarding the officer exodus, stating that “Through June 30, 648 officers quit before retiring this year — a 22% spike from 2021, when 530 left, and an 87% rise from 2020, when 347 quit, NYPD pension data show.”
The decision to quit, along with NYPD’s recruiting issues, reportedly means the 34,000 officers are lacking over 1,000.
“Cops are being squeezed from every direction. They are working inhumane amounts of forced overtime. The brass is pushing for more enforcement, while the police-oversight complex is pushing to ruin more cops’ careers,” Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry noted.
He said many officers cannot afford the risk because they are not being paid enough, and the NYPD needs to be more accommodating to those it already employs.
Officers usually stay on the job for 20 years to collect a pension, and the Post cited data that reportedly shows officers are burning through their accrued days off before quitting.
Hostility towards police officers, bail reform, and the crime wave have fueled the frustration among the police agency, the outlet said.

Meanwhile, New York City police officers reportedly suffered 32 percent more injuries so far in 2023 than in 2022 as rampant crime bears down on their communities.
In March, one New Yorker told Fox 5 New York the crime was “getting worse.”
“It’s unbelievable. You can’t even go out to the street,” she added:
Another resident said, “Crime has increased a lot. Right now, it’s like we’re scared to get on the trains if something might happen because somebody has a gun, somebody has a knife, you sit by the door somebody could get you, slice you in your face.”
