Court papers reveal that discussions regarding a potential plea deal with ex-City Hall official Mohamed Bahi are ongoing, raising the possibility of his cooperation in the federal corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams.
A source from Adams' legal team indicated that having Bahi flip against the mayor could be viewed as desperate, especially after Donald Trump's election, which they believe might favor Adams' legal circumstances.
The SDNY has a pressing deadline with the trial against Mayor Adams set for April, meaning they need to finalize any deal with Bahi soon to incorporate his potential testimony.
Bahi’s arrest marks a significant moment, being the first official from the Adams administration to face corruption accusations publicly since the mayor himself was indicted.
