Frank Carone, ex-NYC Mayor Eric Adams' chief of staff, was arrested on federal bribery charges related to migrant shelter contracts. The arrest is the latest in a series of probes into Adams' inner circle.
This marks a second major figure going down. When an administration's chief of staff gets arrested for bribery, it's not a one-off scandal—it reflects the culture at the top. Migrant shelter contracts are particularly visible in New York right now, so if Carone was taking bribes around those, it speaks to how pressure around that issue was being handled behind closed doors. Multiple investigations into Adams' people suggests the problem runs deeper than any single official.
