A former top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams is among seven people facing new charges in the corruption investigation that has swirled around City Hall for two years. Prosecutors in Manhattan announced the new charges on Thursday. There’s no indication that Adams himself has been charged, but the case will thrust the corruption allegations that have dogged the Democrat back into focus ahead while he runs for reelection. Among those facing new charges is Adams’ former chief of staff and closest confidant, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, her son Glenn D. Martin, former state Sen. Jesse Hamilton and two of Adams’ political donors, siblings Tony and Gina Argento.
