Winnie Greco, former Adams campaign adviser, allegedly hands journalist cash stuffed in potato chip bag
Just when you think the New York City mayor's race can't get much stranger, it's now all that and a bag of chips - literally. Former City Hall adviser Winnie Greco allegedly handed journalist Katie Honan cash stuffed into a potato chip bag following an Eric Adams re-election campaign event Wednesday in Harlem. Greco, Adams' former director of Asian affairs, resigned from City Hall last year after the FBI raided her home during his corruption case. Honan is a journalist for the website The City. A spokesman for the mayor's reelection campaign said, in part, Greco "holds no position in this campaign and has been suspended from all volunteer campaign-related activities." According to Honan, a red envelope she found inside the bag of chips had at least one $100 bill and several $20 bills inside. Honan says she tried to return the cash and quickly notified the Adams campaign and the Department of Investigation. Greco's attorney, Steven Brill, told The Associated Press the situation was being "blown out of proportion." "This was not a bag of cash," Brill wrote in an email. "In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude. And that's all that was done here. Winnie's intention was born purely out of kindness." Asked why Greco wanted to make such a gesture to Honan, Brill said, "She knows the reporter and is fond of her." The City said it interviewed Greco later Wednesday and she apologized, saying she made "a mistake." "The fact that one of Mayor Adams' closest, longtime advisors would attempt to ingratiate herself to any reporter, much less Katie Honan, with a cash gift is deeply disturbing and speaks to a rampant and blatant disregard for the role of a free and fair press," The City's Editor in Chief Richard Kim said in a statement. "The choice of sour cream and onion chips is also questionable." Word of this incident comes as Adams' former top adviser and closest ally Ingrid Lewis-Martin is one of a handful of people facing new charges. Back in December, Lewis-Martin and her son were indicted for an alleged "long-running bribery, money laundering and conspiracy scheme by using her position and authority as the chief adviser to the New York City mayor, the second-highest position in city government, to illegally influence city decisions in exchange for in excess of $100,000 in cash and other benefits for herself and her son, Glenn Martin II."
