NEW YORK (AP) — A former aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams pleaded guilty Tuesday to soliciting straw donations in a case tied to separate corruption charges against Adams that the Trump administration ultimately decided to drop.

Mohamed Bahi pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He is one of several people in Mayor Eric Adams’s orbit who were swept up in investigations.

Former City Hall aide Mohamed Bahi pleaded guilty to conspiracy Tuesday for his role in organizing illegal straw donor contributions toward Eric Adams’s 2021 campaign for mayor. Bahi, 41, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy related to wire fraud in Manhattan federal court.

Mayor Eric Adams’ former liaison to the Muslim community — considered a key witness in the feds’ quashed corruption case against Hizzoner — on Tuesday pleaded guilty in a funding scam tied to Adams’ 2021 campaign.

Mohamed Bahi, a former community affairs aide, was the first person besides Mayor Eric Adams to be indicted on criminal charges stemming from multiple investigations into Adams before his federal bribery case was killed by the Trump Justice Department.

Mohamed Bahi, 41, admitted in court to organizing a fundraising event for Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign in which employees of a construction company were asked to donate, with the expectation that they would be reimbursed.
