Mohamed Bahi, an ex-employee of Mayor Eric Adams' administration, plans to plead guilty to charges as part of the federal corruption case against the mayor.

Prosecutors say Mohamed Bahi, who is identified in the indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams as “Adams Employee-1,” has indicated he intends to plead to a charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Mohamed Bahi is expected to plead guilty to conspiracy for efforts to cover up straw donations to Adams’s 2021 campaign, according to a court filing.

A former aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams intends to plead guilty to conspiracy in connection with the federal corruption case against the mayor, prosecutors said in a filing.

The aide, Mohamed Bahi, had been accused of telling a witness to lie to federal agents investigating illegal contributions to Mayor Eric Adams’s campaign.

The feds say Bahi, the mayor’s liaison to the Muslim community, is expected to plead guilty as part of the deal that his defense team and feds have been hammering out for months.

In recent days, reports have emerged that the Justice Department, now under the dominion of President Donald Trump, might drop the corruption charges former U.S. Attorney Damian Williams brought last year. If this happens, Adams will go free and Trump won’t even have to manage the optics of issuing a pardon for a Democrat.
