Episode 372: Adams Tries to Keep Grinding as the Feds Chip Away

The FBI raided the homes of Eric Adams' closest allies last week in what look to be two new federal investigations of the mayor and his inner circle altogether, making four . This isn't normal and it isn't good, but the mayor — comparing himself to the biblical character Job — says he's done nothing wrong, stands by his police commissioner who just his phones seized, and is going to stay focused and keep grinding on behalf of New Yorkers. Hosts Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel discuss all of the "gossip and hearsay" inside and outside of City Hall, and much more — including the cautious responses so far from the Democrats aiming to challenge Adams in next year's primary, which looks to be the first competitive one against a sitting mayor since David Dinkins upset Ed Koch in 1989, and the question of "why would Eric Adams say anything," when "shutting up is free."
