Brooklyn Borough President Reynoso recalls ‘unusual’ visit from Turkish official after Adams became mayor

The 57-page federal corruption indictment of Mayor Eric Adams begins not with hizzoner’s alleged misdeeds at City Hall, but at Brooklyn Borough Hall. 

“In 2014, Eric Adams, the defendant, became Brooklyn Borough President,” the document reads. “Thereafter, for nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him.”
