Democrats have left Adams to fend for himself on more than one of the controversies in which his administration has become entangled.
have maintained a cordial relationship and avoided any direct confrontation, but that hasn't stopped Bragg from going after those in Adams' circle.
On Wednesday, Bragg unveiled the five indictments from his wide-ranging investigation into a bribery scheme involving a one-time confidant of Adams, former New York City Department of Buildings commissioner Eric Ulrich. Ulrich was charged with accepting money and gifts for access to and favors from high-ranking Adams administration employees.
Although Adams nor any current city employee were not accused of any wrongdoing in the indictments, the evidence released by Bragg's office showed that Adams sat down with three of the people named in the indictment and each of the men donated $2,000 each to Adams' mayoral campaign. When asked if he knew two of the individuals at a press conference last month, Adams said,"Being the mayor, particularly a mayor that does not live in a bubble, I am constantly having people around me all day every day. So those who hosted events, I don't know all the names, I don't know all the faces. I have a fundraising team and they are handling that."
