Mayor Eric Adams is speaking out for the first time since a bombshell new lawsuit was filed.
Tuesday, March 19, 2024 7:51PMStream New York's #1 news - Accuweather - original content 24/7"This did not happen, it did not happen," Adams said. "I don't recall ever meeting this person during my time in the police department back in '93."
The accuser, Lorna Beach-Mathura, declined to be interviewed, and has filed multiple unrelated and unsuccessful lawsuits in the past. Four people were charged last year with running a straw-donor scheme. A Long Island businessman pleaded guilty Monday on similar allegations. Adams acknowledged meeting the man, Hui Qin.
Authorities are investigating whether Adams -- then the Brooklyn Borough President -- played a role in fast-tracking a certificate of occupancy for the Turkish Consulate.
