Mayor Eric Adams’ celebrity attorney Alex Spiro accused federal prosecutors Monday of bringing forth an indictment full of falsehoods — and breaking the law by leaking the case out to the press the night before the historic indictment was unsealed.
Alex Spiro, in a Sept. 30 news conference at his Manhattan offices, argued that the 57-page indictment charging Adams with conspiracy, bribery, soliciting foreign campaign donations, and wire fraud is “not a real case.” The news conference came on the heels of Adams’ legal team filing a motion requesting the federal court toss out the bribery charge against the mayor.
