Overview
- Prosecutors allege Lewis‑Martin accepted more than $75,000 in additional bribes between 2022 and 2024, bringing the total alleged benefits to about $175,000 with earlier charges.
- The new cases name multiple co‑defendants, including her son Glenn D. Martin II, former state senator and DCAS deputy commissioner Jesse Hamilton, and studio owners Gina and Tony Argento.
- Charges detail schemes to steer asylum‑shelter contracts, fast‑track permits for a Queens karaoke bar, block a McGuinness Boulevard bike‑lane redesign, secure home renovations, and obtain catering and a TV appearance.
- Lewis‑Martin faces four counts of fourth‑degree conspiracy and four counts of second‑degree bribe receiving in the latest filings, with arraignments set in Manhattan criminal court.
- Her lawyer says she will plead not guilty and seek an expedited trial, and the mayor’s office says Eric Adams is not accused or implicated in these state indictments.
