The day after over a dozen Queens elected officials from all ranks released statements in response to the historic indictment of Mayor Eric Adams, one of his closest allies finally spoke up.

It also alleges that Adams manipulated the city’s campaign matching program, resulting in illegally funneling $10 million in taxpayer funds to his campaign.
