Straight from Ingrid Lewis-Martin's mouth
Presented by NY Offshore Wind Alliance IS THIS WHAT (ALLEGED) CORRUPTION SOUNDS LIKE? Mayor Eric Adams' former chief adviser, his 'sister ordained by God,' his four-decade-long friend, his own 'Lioness of City Hall,' his OG-campaign-manager-turned-ordained-chaplain-turned-top-aide has a particular way of speaking. 'When we fucking tell them something, we expect them to make that shit move.' 'I need those done. … I need him to get them. Because that's our fucking people.' 'Move that shit forward' 'We do not care what they say. We are ignoring them and continuing with our plan. They can kiss my ass.' This — according to the indictments filed by Manhattan prosecutors' today — is how Ingrid Lewis-Martin wields power in City Hall. They charged her with four counts of conspiracy and four counts of bribery today. She pleaded not guilty on every count. Lewis-Martin made the remarks as she tried to advance her cronies' interests in conversations with especially generous developers, according to prosecutors. Or when barking orders at City Hall officials on conference calls. Or in private text messages with high-profile studio executives, where she mocked the safe street activists who wanted a Brooklyn bike lane where her cronies didn't. The suite of charges against Lewis-Martin come from the same multi-year investigation that spawned a separate indictment against her in December which led to her resignation. (Those alleged crimes allowed her son to buy a brand new Porsche.) They also come at an especially unfortunate time for Adams. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office announced the charges less than a day after a different former Adams aide — Winnie Greco — handed a CITY reporter a bag of Sour Cream & Onion potato chips filled with an envelope stuffed with cash. Lewis-Martin's lawyer Arthur Aidala, says she's innocent, and prosecutors said Adams isn't involved in her alleged crimes. 'Her only so-called 'offense' was fulfilling her duty — helping fellow citizens navigate the City's outdated and often overwhelming bureaucracy. At no point did she receive a single dollar or any personal benefit for her assistance,' Aidala said in a statement. 'This is not justice — it is a distortion of the truth and a troubling example of politically motivated 'lawfare.'' Adams also responded to the charges through a spokesperson: 'While Ingrid Lewis-Martin no longer works for this administration, she has been a friend and colleague of the mayor' and has 'declared her innocence.' The mayor's prayers are also with her and her family, the spokesperson said. According to prosecutors, Lewis-Martin expedited fire safety permits for the opening of a swanky karaoke club in Flushing; she pushed for a migrant shelter contract with a hotel where experts didn't want one; she demanded the advancement of city-subsidized real estate projects; and she pressured to expedite approvals for the home renovation project of an ally. Her payoff, prosecutors said, came in the form of expensive seafood at Gracie Mansion. Or catered parties in a karaoke club (Lewis-Martin loves karaoke). Or paid-for contracting work to spruce up her Brooklyn home. Or a speaking role in the MGM+ series 'Godfather of Harlem.' 'Hi Grumpy… it's going good,' was the line she expertly delivered in Season 3, Episode 3 of the 'Godfather of Harlem' — the reward she allegedly got for killing the bike lane project. And, of course, cash. Allegedly $50,000-worth routed to her son, who was also charged and pleaded not guilty. Former state Sen. Jesse Hamilton, a deputy commissioner at the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, was also charged in the indictments and pleaded not guilty. He resigned today. 'Corruption isn't just about what a politician gains, it's about what the public loses,' Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani said in a statement. 'And right now, New Yorkers are paying the price as another flurry of indictments continue to erode their trust in our democracy and distract from the affordability crisis that demands action and urgency.' — Jason Beeferman, with Jeff Coltin PROGRAMMING NOTE: We'll be on hiatus from Aug. 25 through Sept. 1. New York Playbook PM will return to its normal schedule on Tuesday, Sept. 2. From the Capitol SHOOTINGS DROP: Gov. Kathy Hochul today touted a drop in shootings across the state compared to this time last year — a decline that comes as Republicans signal they will make public safety a campaign issue next year. A 14 percent decline in shootings during the first seven months of 2025 compared to the same period a year ago was reported in localities statewide that participate in the Gun Involved Violence Elimination Initiative. The national program provides funding for local police to reduce gun violence. In New York City, shootings declined by 20 percent between the start of the year and Aug. 17. The drop is even more striking in the summer months, when shooting incidents tend to spike. This year, shootings and people killed by gunfire between June 1 and July 31 are at their lowest in five years. 'Gun violence in New York is falling as a direct result of our record investments in public safety and prevention initiatives,' Hochul said in a statement. 'As we work with our public safety partners to make real progress in the fight against gun crimes, I remain committed to investing in programs that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals and keep our communities safe.' The Democratic governor has been especially sensitive to crime concerns. Her 2022 opponent Lee Zeldin ran almost exclusively on an anti-crime platform and came within 6 points of unseating Hochul. But the governor convinced Democrats to make tweaks to the left-leaning criminal justice changes they passed in 2019. She expanded the number of criminal charges where bail is required and altered evidence discovery requirements — a change sought by district attorneys. — Nick Reisman From the Speaker's Desk NOTHING SPECIAL LOOMING: Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie brushed off requests for a special session to address midyear budget tweaks following the federal spending cuts in the 'big, beautiful bill.' 'Remember in the budget, we gave the governor the ability –up to $2 billion – to deal with the deficit,' Heastie said at an appearance in Schenectady this morning. 'Right now, it's somewhere around $750 million. So that's something that the budget director can handle. Now when it comes to next year's issue, that's when the badder bad news starts to hit. … There's no discussion whatsoever about coming back in a special session.' Progressive members of Heastie's conference have joined requests for Albany to reconvene to act on issues such as funding cuts and immigrant protections. Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado has made this a campaign issue as he runs against Hochul, but the governor has said she won't use her powers to force lawmakers to come back. Other issues like changes to the rules on marijuana dispensaries have also arisen since the Legislature gaveled out in June, but Heastie said 'those things can wait.' One other area that has come up in special session talks has been starting the ball rolling on an attempt to let New York make changes to its congressional lines before 2028. 'We haven't talked about' a special session to act on that issue, Heastie said. And while he didn't completely rule out the possibility of acting on redistricting soon if it 'gives people a sense of relief,' he was very unenthused about the idea. 'In order to do a change to the constitution, you have to have two consecutive legislatures pass it, and then it's put before the voters. This is year one of this legislature,' Heastie said. 'There's nothing actual or factual that will happen if we do first passage tomorrow. We just have to do it by August of next year.' — Bill Mahoney CDPAP WARS CDPAP SCRUTINY: State Sens. Gustavo Rivera and James Skoufis said they were frustrated and unsatisfied after legislators spent over four hours today grilling Health Commissioner James McDonald and a representative from financial services company Public Partnerships LLC about the bumpy transition of a popular home care program for Medicaid recipients. The state awarded PPL a $1 billion contract last year to take over administration of the program known as CDPAP, which allows eligible Medicaid recipients to hire and manage their own in-home caregivers. Today, about 210,000 New Yorkers receive CDPAP services and over 230,000 people work as personal assistants under the program. The hearing, which was co-chaired by Rivera and Skoufis, was originally scheduled for July but postponed at the request of the state Department of Health. McDonald was the sole Health Department official to testify. Patty Byrnes, vice president of government relations for PPL, testified on the company's behalf. Neither of them shed much new light on the procurement process or their handling of the transition, which kicked off at the start of the year and sparked at least 19 lawsuits. 'We gave them an extra month to prepare, and what they came with was nothing,' Rivera told reporters after their testimony. 'They couldn't answer basic questions.' 'Eighty percent of it was a complete waste of our time,' Skoufis added. — Maya Kaufman IN OTHER NEWS — ADAMS' NADIR: The explosion of two major corruption scandals has severely wounded Adams' campaign and his pitch to voters that he has the best record of the candidates.

Former top Adams aide charged in bribery schemes
A former top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted Thursday on bribery charges. Former chief adviser Ingrid Lewis-Martin has been charged in four separate indictments and is accused of accepting more than $75,000 in bribes, including $50,000 in cash directed to her son's account, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's office. Lewis-Martin is accused of fast-tracking building permits and other projects in exchange for cash and other favors. She faces charges for alleged actions between March 2022 and November 2024 involving several city agencies covering transportation, housing and development. 'As alleged, Lewis-Martin consistently overrode the expertise of public servants so she could line her own pockets. While she allegedly received more than $75,000 in bribes and an appearance on a TV show, every other New Yorker lost out,' District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) said in a statement. 'Hardworking City employees were undermined, businesses and developers who followed the law were pushed aside, and the public was victimized by corruption at the highest levels of government,' he added. Prosecutors allege associates promised to host parties for Lewis-Martin and undertook home renovations, helped her land a speaking role on a TV show and provided thousands of dollars in catering for an event at the mayor's residence. Adams is not the focus of any charges in the indictment. The Justice Department ordered prosecutors to drop their case against the New York mayor earlier this year. Lewis-Martin resigned from her post as chief adviser to Adams in December ahead of her indictment on separate corruption charges. In total, Lewis-Martin has been charged this week with four counts of Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree and four counts of Bribe Receiving in the Second Degree. Her son Glenn Martin II is charged with two counts of Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree and two counts of Bribe Receiving in the Second Degree. Former state Sen. Jesse Hamilton (D) and siblings Tony and Gina Argento, who donated to Adams's campaign, are also named in the indictment. Lewis-Martin's lawyer said in a statement Thursday reported by The New York Times that his client faced 'charges classified at the lowest level of felony in our justice system.' The lawyer argued that the former city offiical was 'fulfilling her duty' as a public servant and declared the indictment 'a troubling example of politically motivated 'lawfare.' '

NYC Mayor Eric Adams' former chief adviser to face more charges: Lawyer
Ingrid Lewis-Martin, New York City Mayor Eric Adams' former chief adviser who remains a volunteer on his reelection campaign, will appear in court Thursday to face additional charges, her lawyer said. The lawyer, Arthur Aidala, said the Manhattan District Attorney's Office declined to provide details about the new charges. "Despite a lifetime of service as a law-abiding public servant, Ingrid is being forced to enter court with little information. What she does know is this: she has always served the City with integrity, and she will firmly plead not guilty to every charge," Aidala said in a statement. "While the specifics remain unclear, Ingrid is certain of one thing -- she has broken no laws, and she is not guilty. We will be requesting an expedited trial schedule." Adams, who is trying to revive a lagging reelection campaign, is not expected to be charged with any wrongdoing and a spokesperson said the new charges against Lewis-Martin have nothing to do with him. "Mayor Adams was not involved in this matter and has not been accused of or implicated in any wrongdoing. He remains focused on what has always been his priority -- serving the 8.5 million New Yorkers who call this city home and making their city safer and more affordable every single day," the spokesperson said. "Ingrid Lewis-Martin no longer works for this administration." MORE: Ingrid Lewis-Martin, NYC Mayor Eric Adams' former chief adviser, surrenders on criminal charges Lewis-Martin was previously charged, along with her son, Glenn Martin II, with taking $100,000 in bribes from two businessmen in exchange for official favors. Both pleaded not guilty. Three other individuals with ties to Adams are also expected to face charges on Thursday, according to sources: Jesse Hamilton, a former state senator and current deputy commissioner of real estate services, and Gina and Tony Argento, Brooklyn business owners and donors to Adams. Attorney information for Hamilton and the Argentos was not immediately available. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the New York City Department of Investigation had no comment on their charges or the new charges against Lewis-Martin. Two real estate investors, Raizada Vaid and Mayank Dwivedi, were also charged with bribery in the case involving Lewis-Martin and her son. They have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors accused of engaging in a $100,000 bribery scheme while Lewis-Martin was in office. She resigned from her position days before surrendering on bribery and money laundering charges in December 2024. Vaid and Dwivedi are accused of paying Glenn Martin II $100,000 months after Lewis-Martin allegedly performed favors for the two men, including helping them with issues relating to construction permits and a family member's visa, according to the indictment. Lewis-Martin's son allegedly used the money to buy a Porsche, prosecutors said. MORE: Timeline of how Eric Adams' bribery case led to resignations of federal prosecutors The case is separate from federal corruption charges that were brought and then subsequently dropped against Adams. The mayor was indicted last year in the Southern District of New York on five counts in an alleged long-standing conspiracy connected to improper benefits, illegal campaign contributions and an attempted cover-up. The Department of Justice moved to dismiss the charges, prompting the resignation of several top prosecutors. In April, a federal judge dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be revived. The Justice Department sought to have the case dismissed to free up Adams to cooperate with the mayor's immigration agenda, though it wanted the case dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be brought again.
