NEW YORK — Ingrid Lewis-Martin, who has been New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ top advisor for years, announced her retirement on Sunday.
The announcement came as Manhattan prosecutors investigating corruption allegations against her have reportedly presented evidence to a grand jury.
According to The New York Times, the grand jury could seek an indictment as soon as this week.
Lewis-Martin has been with Adams since he was a state senator in Brooklyn, and is one of the last in his inner circle to leave office.
In September, federal agents seized her cellphone amid their investigation into the Adams administration.
In a statement Sunday, she said, in part, “Know that I will continue to do everything in my power to fight for this great city every day as a private citizen. The time has come for me to focus on my wonderful family and myself and retire.”
