A former aide to New York Mayor Eric Adams has been sentenced to three years' probation, including a year of home confinement, for soliciting illegal campaign contributions on behalf of the mayor.
Mohamed Bahi, who served as a liaison to the city's Muslim communities, received his sentence on Tuesday. During the proceedings, a federal judge highlighted the "elephant in the room": the fact that Mr Adams' own corruption charges were "erased" through a "remarkable intervention" by the Trump administration.
