Adams Again Accused Of Using Illegal Straw Donors

The City reports:

Just weeks after the Trump administration pulled off the dismissal of corrupt fundraising charges against Mayor Eric Adams, it appears that his reelection campaign was at it again, an investigation by THE CITY has found. The Adams campaign in May once more accepted funds from individuals who appear to be straw donors and submitted them to the city’s $8-to-$1 public matching dollars program.

Two individuals listed by the campaign as making donations eligible for matching funds told THE CITY they are unemployed and did not give to Adams or any other candidate. Another contribution for which Adams sought a match was paid for by a credit card linked to the donor’s employer. Three donors listed addresses where they do not appear to live.

All the donations were for the maximum amount allowed — $2,100 — and all were paid by credit card. Many of the donors contacted by THE CITY do not speak English, but their donations were made through the city’s online donation system, contribute.nycvotes.org, which is posted in English only. Ten of these donations are connected to one company, Allstar Homecare Agency in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, including several made by Allstar employees and their relatives.

This is what got Dinesh D’Souza his felony conviction, for which Trump later pardoned him.

An investigation by THE CITY uncovered donors who insist they didn’t donate to Eric Adams’ campaign, a donor who paid with a credit card linked to their employer and donors who don’t live where they claimed to.https://t.co/vaO9DDfx5V
