Yeah right. Everybody knows this Democrat tactic. Adams has been
stepping on Biden's toes and bucking Hochul - he won't fuck her. So
he is now expendable and here comes the rape charge brigade.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accused of
sexually assaulting a woman in 1993, according to a legal summons filed Wednesday.

The three-page filing does not contain details of the alleged assault
but names Adams, the transit bureau of the New York Police Department
and the New York Police Department Guardians Association as defendants.

“Plaintiff was sexually assaulted by Defendant Eric Adams in New York,
New York in 1993 while they both worked for the City of New York,” the
summons reads.

The filing seeks a trial and $5 million in relief. It was filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan. The woman's attorney did not immediately
return an emailed request for comment on Thursday. In remarks to
reporters on Thursday, Adams denied sexually assaulting anyone and said
he did not remember meeting the woman.

“It absolutely did not happen. I don't recall ever meeting this person
and I would never harm anyone in that magnitude. It did not happen,”
Adams said, according to a video posted by a reporter to X, the social
media platform formerly known as Twitter. “It did not happen, and that
is not who I am and that is not who I've ever been in my professional
life and, you know, it’s just something that never took place.”

Adams, a Democrat, was a New York City police officer who rose to the
rank of captain before entering politics. He served as a state senator
and Brooklyn borough president before becoming mayor.

The summons was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a special New York
law that created a year-long suspension of the usual time limit to sue
over an alleged sexual assault. The suit against Adams was filed just
before the window to bring cases under the law was scheduled to close
after Thanksgiving.

The law cleared the way for a wave of lawsuits against famous men
accused of sexual misconduct, with a slew of cases coming in the final
weeks before it was set to expire. Over the past year, the act has led
to more than 2,500 lawsuits, including cases against former President
Donald Trump, hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and comedian and actor
Russell Brand.

The filing comes as Adams has been dogged by an FBI investigation into
his 2021 campaign that prompted agents to seize his phones and raid the
home of his chief campaign fundraiser.

The New York Times and New York Post have reported that part of the investigation involves examining whether Adams inappropriately tried to
help the government of Turkey get city approval to open a 35-story
skyscraper housing diplomatic facilities in 2021, despite concerns about
the tower’s fire safety systems.

Adams has sidestepped questions about the FBI investigation but has
maintained he did nothing wrong.
