By MICHAEL R. SISAK and JAKE OFFENHARTZ NEW YORK (AP) — A former New York City official was charged Tuesday with witness tampering and destroying evidence in a federal investigation that led to Mayor Eric Adams’ bribery indictment. The arrest came amid yet more high-profile departures from Adams’ administration as federal prosecutors delve deeper into allegations that the mayor was involved in a coverup. Mohamed Bahi, who resigned Monday as a liaison to the Muslim community, is accused of encouraging a businessman and campaign donors to lie to the FBI in June and of deleting an encrypted messaging app from his cell phone just as FBI agents arrived to search his home in July.
