Ingrid Lewis-Martin surrendered to authorities early Thursday morning to face expected bribery charges, making her the highest-profile city official charged since Mayor Adams' indictment.
Prosecutors believe Lewis-Martin expedited a hold-up with a construction project run by two businessmen who allegedly lent her son $100,000 for a Porsche.
The businessmen's attorney asserted that the DA's view of facts is incomplete, expressing eagerness to prove his client's innocence in the pending charges.
As the controversy unfolds, Ingrid Lewis-Martin's case highlights ongoing corruption issues within New York City's administration as officials face increasing scrutiny.
