Six people were indicted in New York City for conspiring in an alleged fraud scheme involving straw donations tied to the 2021 campaign of Mayor Eric Adams.
The scheme consisted of illegally structuring contributions to maximize the amount of additional money gained through a New York City program that provides generous matching funds to mayoral candidate campaigns, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Friday in a statement. The mayor wasn’t accused of any wrongdoing.
