Mayor Eric Adams praised former aide Mohamed Bahi on Tuesday following his arrest on federal charges of witness tampering and destruction of evidence concerning the federal investigation that preceded Adams’ own corruption indictment late last month.
The mayor, during his weekly wide-ranging press conference, lauded Bahi’s work at City Hall as a senior liaison to the Muslim community while dodging reporters’ questions about his indictment. Bahi was charged a day after resigning from his position in the administration.
