旁白：纽约市长素以其传奇色彩和政治丑闻而闻名，本文回顾了历任市长面临的政治丑闻，并指出当前市长埃里克·亚当斯也面临着类似的困境。 埃尔西·张：报道指出，纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯政府正因丑闻而动荡不安，这将对其任期产生重大影响。 埃里克·亚当斯：亚当斯本人否认有任何不当行为，并表示他专注于保护城市人民，调查会自行解决。他同时表示不会被这些问题分散精力。 伊丽莎白·金：伊丽莎白·金详细阐述了针对亚当斯政府的四项联邦调查，分别涉及竞选资金（包括来自土耳其官员的非法捐款和一位专注于华人社区的筹款人）、纽约警察局（涉及警务专员的兄弟）、以及公共安全副市长（涉及其兄弟）。她还指出，这些调查不仅针对亚当斯及其与竞选和捐款者有关联的人，还扩大到其高级官员，这已经对纽约市的日常运作造成了干扰。
