- Democratic Mayor Eric Adams of New York City ordered city staff to produce a worn-down image of an NYPD officer he had known to buttress his claim that he’d been carrying it around for years, The New York Times reported Thursday.
- At a press conference shortly after he was sworn in as mayor regarding the deaths of two NYPD officers, Adams spoke of a late officer, Robert Venable, whom Adams had known when he served in the NYPD and who was killed in the line of duty in 1987 — saying “I still think about Robert … I keep a picture of Robert in my wallet.”
- An investigation by The New York Times revealed that he had later asked staffers in the Mayor’s Office to create the image, so as to allegedly justify his claim that he’d carried it.
