Show Notes
New York City ends legal fee support for former Mayor Eric Adams aide Tim Pearson, accused of sexual harassment and retaliation, after reviewing new evidence. The city had already spent $622,931 on his defense. The decision also cuts off funding for ex-NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey. Lawyers for the accusers welcome the move, citing city findings supporting their claims. Pearson, a top public safety adviser, resigned in September 2024 amid separate scandals. Other defendants will continue to receive city representation as the lawsuits proceed.
