I keep a picture of Robert in my wallet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Later, Mayor Adams presented the media with the photo he claimed to have carried for years, but The New York Times alleged that City Hall workers had created it after his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-halted-probe-linking-lab-leak-to-covid-19-report\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Halted Probe Linking Lab Leak to COVID-19: Report\">initial comment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Times, an anonymous source revealed, \u201cThe employees were instructed to create a photo of Officer Venable. A picture of the officer was found on Google; it was printed in black-and-white and made to look worn as if the mayor had been carrying it for some time, including by splashing some coffee on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times also reported that two unidentified City Hall aides confirmed their knowledge of the fake photo.<\/p>\n<p>Fabien Levy, a representative of Mayor Adams, acknowledged that the photo shown to the media was new but maintained that Adams had indeed carried a photo of Venable for years.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHe was a very dear friend and it keeps me committed,\u201d Mayor Adams said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Venable&#8217;s daughter, Januari Venable, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/candace-owens-chauvin-verdict-is-mob-rule-trial-polluted-from-start-to-finish\/\" title=\"Candace Owens: Chauvin Verdict Is \u2018Mob Rule,\u2019 Trial \u2018Polluted From Start To Finish\u2019\">expressed surprise<\/a> at the mayor&#8217;s claim, stating that she had never met Adams until this year.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAll I can say is that as far as being in his wallet or not, the fact that people still think of my dad all these years later \u2014 whatever the meaning behind it \u2014 it makes me thankful that he\u2019s not being forgotten,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a statement from the mayor&#8217;s office, Januari Venable contradicted her previous statement and praised Mayor Adams for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/infographic-timeline-of-the-durham-investigation\/\" title=\"Infographic: Timeline of the Durham Investigation\">ongoing support<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI was only eight when my father was murdered. I don\u2019t remember most of the people who were there for my family, but in the 36 years since I lost my father, Eric Adams has been there, even after the cameras were gone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEric personally drove me and my family to Fourth of July fireworks in the past, and when I called him at the last minute to attend a memorial for my father, the mayor was there,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Venable&#8217;s niece, Meredith Benson, expressed doubt regarding The Times&#8217; report, emphasizing the close relationship between Mayor Adams and her family.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf he needed a story, he had a story, right? He could just say \u2018I was very close to, you know, Rob\u2019s mother and supported her through his death and supported the family\u2019 because that is 100 percent complete and true,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Following the publication of the report, Fabien Levy criticized The New York Times for exploiting the tragic murder of Robert Venable for the sake of scrutinizing Mayor Adams&#8217; life.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOver 30 years ago, after Officer Venable\u2019s murder, then-Officer Adams made a copy of a photo published of Officer Venable from an NYPD Transit News Bulletin \u2014 a document he still has to this day. For decades, Mayor Adams has carried a picture of his friend who died in the line of duty,\u201d Levy stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In response, a representative from The Times acknowledged that Adams and his aides did not deny the main point of their story, which was that the photo he showed to reporters and claimed to have carried for decades was indeed created by his aides to appear aged.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Read More: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nyc-mayor-busted-truth-comes-pic-fallen-cop-claims-carried-30-years-report\/\">NYC Mayor Busted, Truth Comes Out on Pic of Fallen Cop He Claims to Have Carried for over 30 Years: Report<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent report alleges that Mayor Eric Adams has been carrying a photo of slain NYPD Officer Robert for years.
