Mohamed Bahi, a former aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, is expected to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge in the corruption case against the mayor, according to recent court documents. Bahi, who was the chief liaison to the Muslim community at City Hall, is implicated in Adams' alleged campaign finance misconduct, as reported by CBS News.

Bahi was arrested on charges related to campaign fundraising misconduct that led to Adams' indictment on corruption charges in September. NBC New York reported that Bahi is accused of conspiring to commit wire fraud by collecting campaign contributions under false pretenses. A representative for Bahi has been sought for comment, but the date of his plea hearing has not been announced.

This development comes as Mayor Adams faces political and legal challenges, including his alliance with former President Donald Trump, who has criticized the legal proceedings against Adams. Trump has not ruled out the possibility of granting a pardon to Adams, a former Republican. The case also follows the guilty plea of Brooklyn real estate tycoon Erden Arkan, who admitted to working with a Turkish official to channel illegal funds to Adams' campaign. Arkan stated during his hearing, "When I wrote the checks, I knew the Eric Adams campaign would use the checks to apply for public matching funds," according to NBC New York.

Adams continues to deny all accusations of bribery, conspiracy, and campaign finance violations. He has committed to serving as mayor while fighting the charges. His trial is set for April 21, and Arkan's sentencing is scheduled for August.
