Ingrid Lewis-Martin, a formidable City Hall official and top consigliere of Mayor Eric Adams, is expected to be indicted in Manhattan as soon as Monday, The Post has learned.
Multiple sources close to Lewis-Martin said Sunday that she and her legal team were bracing for the criminal charges to emerge this week from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, leading to her sudden departure from the administration over the weekend.
It was unclear what specific charge or charges the grand jury were expected to hand up, however, the Manhattan prosecutors and city investigators have been probing the top aide’s alleged role in leasing commercial properties to her close friends.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and Department of Investigation declined to comment. Lewis-Martin and her attorney Arthur Aidala could not be immediately reached Sunday afternoon.
The expected charges add to Adams’ legal problems as multiple criminal investigations hem in his inner circle as he faces unprecedented federal bribery and corruption charges.
