The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted Indian billionaire and seven other individuals on federal charges related to a bribery and fraud scheme involving payments to Indian government officials. The charges include conspiracy to commit wire fraud, federal program bribery, and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals. The indictment raises questions about the integrity of public officials, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is also facing a federal bribery indictment. In a recent interview, Adams defended his former aide, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, who is accused of engaging in quid pro quo activities, stating that she did not engage in such practices and left her position due to long hours in government work.
Fascinating interview with @NYCMayor on @PIX11News highlights: "Ingrid doesn't do quid pro quo" he says of his former top aide, who is accused by DA Bragg of exactly that also says she left not because of indictment but because she was working so long in gov.
Um... isn't @NYCMayor facing a federal bribery indictment himself? Who gives a shit what he has to say about another alleged criminal he never met. Ask him about his own crimes and the crimes of the people he employed like Ingrid Lewis-Martin https://t.co/mR0JQKTxHC https://t.co/6Ltu9aOL4M
