Mayor Adams’ celebrity attorney Alex Spiro paints historic federal indictment as frivolous

Just hours after Mayor Eric Adams was hit with a multi-count federal indictment, his newly retained celebrity attorney Alex Spiro sought to discredit the corruption charges against him.

Spiro, in a Thursday afternoon news conference outside Gracie Mansion, painted the federal charges of conspiracy, bribery, soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations, and wire fraud against Adams as frivolous and flimsy.
