NYC mayoral candidate Eric Adams accepted foreign travel to countries with a history of corruption Shant Shahrigian
This mayoral candidate has the travel bug and a tendency to take freebies from governments recognized as having major human rights issues by the United States and the United Nations.
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has accepted thousands of dollars in travel and other perks from China, Turkey and Azerbaijan, three counties with a well-documented history of suppressing their citizens.
China’s government reportedly paid $787 for a hotel, local travel and meals for him when he visited the country in the summer of 2014. A nonprofit run by a volunteer Adams staffer also paid about $7,000 for the borough president and a deputy to make the 11-day trip.
