New York City Mayor Eric Adams is setting up a legal defense fund as the FBI and the US attorney's office continue a public corruption investigation into his 2021 campaign.
The fund will be monitored by the city's Conflict of Interest Board, an independent agency responsible for enforcing the city's conflict of interest code.
Adams' legal defense fund is intended to defray legal expenses related to the inquiries by the office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. [ more ]
