Ex-Adams admin official charged by feds for telling witnesses to lie, destroying evidence in mayor investigation

A former Adams administration official found himself booked on federal witness tampering charges Tuesday in connection with the criminal case involving Mayor Eric Adams, prosecutors announced.

Mohamed Bahi, 40, served as Mayor Eric Adams’ senior liaison to the Muslim community for the past two years before tendering his resignation on Monday, making one of several senior City Hall aides who have left the administration weeks after the mayor was criminally indicted on bribery and fraud charges.
