Mamdani Admin.: Pull Legal Support for Ex-NYC Mayor Adams

Tuesday, March 17, 2026

AP: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration wants to stop representing Eric Adams in a lawsuit that alleges the former mayor sexually assaulted a woman more than three decades ago, according to a court filing Tuesday. The move comes just a few months after Mamdani took office, following a bitter campaign season last year that had the two Democrats taking turns bashing each other in often caustic and personal terms.

The motion from the city's corporation counsel to withdraw from the civil case argues that Adams is not entitled to city-funded legal support because he was "not acting within the scope of his City employment" at the time of the alleged assault.

A spokesperson for Mamdani said Tuesday that the move was "made independently by the Corporation Counsel, as is required by law" and that the mayor "did not direct the Corporation Counsel to undertake this review, nor did he instruct the Corporation Counsel to reach a particular determination."

Sounds reasonable to me.

Why should NYC pay the legal costs for a person who may have been acting outside of their responsibilities to serve the city?

Loathsome sexual predator and pardoned goniff Eric Adams should move to Israel along with Andrew Cuomo, George Santos, Alan Dershowitz, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries.

Stupid Eric "Stymie from the Little Rascals" Adams doesn't know Bibi most likely refers to him as the "Schwartzer."

"Mr Prime Minister? NYC Mayor Eric Adams is in the waiting room."

"Oh, good, he's finally on time for something! You know how lazy they could be. Summon the photographer and let the Schwartzer in."

He's a pedo for sure. He should invent a religion. It worked in the 7th century.

L Ron Hubbard did it in the 20th Century - Scientology. Started as a joke. He followed through based on a bet.
