First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro claims the allegations contained in the new indictments against Lewis-Martin and Hamilton are "ancient history." The indictments speak about alleged actions Lewis-Martin & her co-defendants took between 2022 and 2024. That's not ancient history.
"This is not an indicator of me not being tough on crime," Adams says of the new indictments alleging widespread corruption in his administration.
This is a good reminder of how correct the city council was in blocking Mastro’s nomination to be corporation counsel.
“his withdrawal letter demonstrates why so many lacked trust that he would be a suitable lawyer for all city officials, rather than just for the mayor… Council Members raised concerns about his record and the ability to trust that he would be a lawyer for the Council and entire City.”
