In an effort to distance himself from any negative associations, Adams&#8217; campaign is diligently investigating any \u200ccontributors who may be \u2063connected to the indictment of Eric\u2064 Ulrich, the former Buildings Commissioner. If any connections are \u2062found, their contributions will be promptly returned.<\/p>\n<p>This development\u2062 in campaign finance comes after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin\u200b Bragg unsealed five indictments, accusing \u2063Ulrich\u200d of using his positions of\u2063 power for personal gain. The indictments reveal that Ulrich accepted bribes totaling $150,000. Adding further complexity to the situation, \u2063Ulrich allegedly co-hosted a fundraiser for Adams in August 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Bragg stated, &#8220;Eric Ulrich, we allege, monetized\u200d each elected \u200band appointed role that he held in New York City government. \u2064Rather than \u2063serve the public, he used his roles to benefit himself and his friends.&#8221; While \u2062Adams and his administration are\u2062 not implicated in\u200c any wrongdoing, prosecutors claim that they had meetings with\u2063 Ulrich and others both before and after Adams&#8217; inauguration. Ulrich specifically stands\u200c accused of helping \u200bsomeone secure a \u2064city council job in exchange for \u200cgifts.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the charges brought against\u2064 him, Ulrich maintains his innocence and has \u200bpleaded not\u200d guilty to all\u2062 16 bribery counts. His attorney asserts that he looks forward to presenting his \u2063case in court. Ulrich resigned\u2063 from his commissioner role last November, and \u2064his phone was seized by Bragg.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Adams is taking \u2063swift action to address this situation and is determined to ensure transparency in his campaign. By \u200breturning any contributions connected to the indicted former official, he is sending a clear message that he will not tolerate corruption within his ranks.<\/p>\n<p>This move by Mayor Adams demonstrates his commitment to ethical governance and his\u200d desire\u2063 to\u2063 uphold the highest standards in public office. It also serves as a reminder that individuals \u200dmust be held \u2062accountable for their actions, regardless of their past affiliations or positions of authority.<\/p>\n<p>As Adams continues \u200bto lead New York City, he will undoubtedly \u200cstrive to rebuild trust \u200dand maintain integrity within his administration. The return of\u2062 campaign contributions connected to an indicted former official \u200cis just one step in that journey, but an important one\u2062 in \u2064ensuring that the public&#8217;s faith in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nyc-mayor-eric-adams-to-return-campaign-donations-from-indicted-ex-official\/\" title=\"NYC Mayor Eric Adams to refund donations from indicted ex-official.\">elected officials remains unshaken<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>corruption case.
