As soon as he got into office his money walked
out the door in his bespoke wardrobe, trips abroad- here& there ,using city money to pay for them
Attending cultural events , fashion shows to rub elbows with the rich & famous.
The guys running everything have something on everybody who is anybody.

“NYC Mayor Eric Adams Fires Back, Claims He’s Being Targeted by Biden’s Federal Government for Allegedly ‘Defending’ New Yorkers Against Illegal Aliens.”
Yeah, I’m sure that’s the reason.
Has he pulled the race card yet? He will, and soon.
This one’s the lawfare card, legitimately played in Trump’s case, but I dunno about this guy. But race card is next at the bottom of the deck.
His middle name is ‘ham-sandwich’.
