Overview

• Four state indictments charge former chief adviser Ingrid Lewis‑Martin with conspiracy and bribe receiving, adding to a December case and bringing alleged benefits to roughly $175,000.
• Named co-defendants include her son Glenn D. Martin II, former state senator and DCAS deputy commissioner Jesse Hamilton, and donors Gina and Tony Argento, with arraignments expected Thursday.
• Prosecutors allege Lewis‑Martin steered asylum‑seeker shelter contracts, with $50,000 routed to her son, and helped fast‑track permits for a Queens karaoke bar tied to the same developer.
• Another indictment alleges she helped block a DOT redesign of McGuinness Boulevard in exchange for $2,500, catering for events at Gracie Mansion and City Hall, and a role on the TV show Godfather of Harlem.
• Lewis‑Martin’s lawyer says she will plead not guilty and seek an expedited trial; Mayor Eric Adams is not charged, and his office says he was not involved.
