Chinese agent didn't disclose meeting with top advisers to NYC Mayor Eric Adams

Between 2015 and 2016, Mui gave $1,250 to Adams’ Brooklyn borough president campaign. He also gave another $3,000 to his nascent mayoral bid in 2019, $1,000 of which was returned due to contribution limits, city records show.

Mui also surfaced in the headlines this spring when Newsweek reported he and Greco are the organizers of the city’s Asian-American heritage parade, which first took place in Manhattan in spring 2022 after Adams granted it status as an annual event. Several Chinese-Americans who are critical of China’s government told the outlet they were barred from participating in the parade due to their political views.

After authorizing the parade, Adams marched in it in both 2022 and 2023 alongside Huang Ping, China’s consul general in New York.

The Greco investigation’s among several law enforcement inquiries touching on Adams’ inner circle.

The Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office is separately investigating allegations that Turkey’s government funneled illegal money into Adams’ 2021 campaig. As part of that probe, FBI agents last November seized Adams’ cell phones and raided the homes of two longtime aides.

Adams hasn’t been accused of wrongdoing in that investigation, either.

Among the episodes the feds are scrutinizing in the Turkey probe is Adams’ role in helping resolve building safety issues at the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan that threatened to delay the building’s opening in summer 2021. Adams, who was at the time the Democratic mayoral nominee, has confirmed he helped Turkish Consul General Reyhan Özgür, but argues there was nothing untoward about that.

Lewis-Martin’s schedule entries show she met for dinner with Özgür on July 7, 2022, at the Turkish Consulate on First Ave. Mamelak declined to say what they talked about, but said it’s common for Lewis-Martin to meet with consul generals.
