Weihong Hu, linked with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, allegedly stole tens of millions from a temporary housing program aimed at curbing Covid-19 transmission in local jails. The indictment, unsealed in Brooklyn, names Hu alongside Julio Medina and Christopher Dantzler in a conspiracy to defraud the housing initiative, which began in April 2020 and involved housing released inmates in hotels. Hu's hotel was recently raided, and her attorney claims she is a victim rather than a conspirator. The case marks ongoing scrutiny over ties between city officials and private enterprises.
