Inside the Turkish tower in NYC at the center of Mayor Eric Adams’ indictment

What did Turkey and its powerful, globetrotting president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan get in return for the thousands of dollars in luxury, first-class travel, other lavish perks allegedly funneled to embattled Mayor Eric Adams? NY Post reporter Dana Kennedy shares this story.
