Attorneys for Eric Adams told a Manhattan judge Wednesday that not only was the Mamdani administration’s March move to stop representing the former mayor in his sexual assault suit improper; it should also have to foot the bill for his new private lawyer.
Adams’ newly-hired attorney, Alan Samuel Futerfas, argued that the city’s move to drop Adams as a client was purely political during oral arguments over whether the court should accept the NYC Law Department’s application to end its representation of the former mayor against allegations that he sexually assaulted a female NYPD officer when he was her superior in 1993.
