Manhattan DA Unseals Four New Indictments Against Ex–Adams Aide Ingrid Lewis‑Martin

The filings broaden a yearslong City Hall corruption probe ahead of court appearances.

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.
