Miller-Whitehead has been free on $500,000 bail since his arrest, which came only months after he was the victim of a robbery when His lawyer, Dawn Florio, said at the time that her client felt as if he were being turned from a victim into a villain. But an evidentiary request from prosecutors suggests the mayor’s relationship with Miller-Whitehead might become a focal point at the trial. Prosecutors are seeking to require a writer for The New Yorker to testify about a January 2023 article titled, “The Mayor and the Con Man.”
At a news conference last week, the mayor was asked about legal filings in the case indicating prosecutors planned to show jurors evidence that Miller-Whitehead used the name of Adams to commit fraud and attempted extortion. Miller-Whitehead became a religious figure when he formed the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in 2013.
