NYC Mayor Eric Adams staffer negotiated price of flight with Turkish Airlines manager to make it appear 'somewhat real': indictment
Briefly

In a June 2021 text, a staffer to Mayor Eric Adams discusses negotiating a discounted flight cost while indicating they want to avoid the appearance of a free flight.
The Adams staffer expresses concerns about media scrutiny regarding travel expenses, stating, "His every step is being watched right now. $1,000 or so, let it be somewhat real."
A February 2021 conversation revealed an effort to balance cost and media perception regarding a hotel stay, described by the staffer as 'too expensive'.
Later communications indicate intricate negotiations concerning offers for the Turkish Airlines manager's potential roles within Adams' administration, exposing a quid pro quo situation.
