This Week in Politics: An indictment and several federal probes in New York

WNYC News | Sep 7, 2024

It's been quite a week for the administrations of Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams.

First, we learned that one of Hochul's former top aides, who also served in her predecessor Andrew Cuomo's administration, is accused of working on behalf of the Government of China. Her name is Linda Sun and she faces a federal indictment.

Then, we heard about the FBI probe that led to several prominent members of Mayor Adams' inner circle having their homes searched and that some are cooperating with a federal investigation. That news broke right around the time we also learned that several members of the NYPD are the subjects of an investigation.

WNYC's senior politics reporter Brigid Bergin and WNYC's Albany reporter Jon Campbell join Weekend Edition host David Furst to explain.
