NYC Mayor Eric Adams' Legal Defense Fund Faces $3.2 Million Deficit, $3 Million in Debt, No Donations in Last Three Months

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing financial challenges as his legal defense fund has reportedly accumulated over $3 million in debt. Recent filings indicate that the fund has not received any donations in the last three months, leading to a deficit of approximately $3.2 million. This situation has arisen amidst ongoing legal issues, including a bribery case, which has contributed to a growing pile of unpaid legal bills. Additionally, former Mayor Bill de Blasio is also noted to owe over $500,000 to his legal team, raising questions about the financial management of city officials amidst legal troubles.
