Lewis-Martin Resigns Amid Adams' Corruption Probe

Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the long-serving chief advisor to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, announced her resignation effective immediately, citing a desire to spend more time with her family. Her departure comes amidst a series of corruption investigations targeting Adams' administration, including an indictment against the mayor himself. Lewis-Martin's phones were seized, and her home was searched by investigators in September as part of these probes, although she has not been charged. Her resignation follows the exits of other top officials in Adams' circle, such as former NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban and Schools Chancellor David Banks. Despite the legal turmoil, Mayor Adams praised Lewis-Martin for her decades of service and described her as a close friend and 'sister.' The investigations into the administration continue, with Adams pleading not guilty to charges including bribery and illegal campaign donations.
