New York City mayor's aides allegedly pressured the Brooklyn Museum to host Chinese history exhibition

In emails from 2016, Eric Adams' office sought to support a museum exhibition for the Overseas Chinese History Museum, indicating an effort to engage with China.

Ingrid Lewis-Martin's email attempted to persuade the Brooklyn Museum of the borough's interest, emphasizing the need for collaboration despite the museum's scheduling constraints.

This exhibition, dedicated to Sun Yat-sen, underscores the complexities of Adams' administration and the scrutiny it faces amid allegations of foreign influence.

Despite being embroiled in federal charges, Adams claims he's a victim of political attacks, reiterating his commitment to serve his constituents.
