The former head of the New York Police Department has filed a federal lawsuit against scandal-scarred New York City Mayor Eric Adams and other high ranking NYPD officials, alleging the group used their power and authority to run a what he called a “criminal enterprise.

Lawsuit accuses Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD officials of running a corrupt organization, with claims of systemic wrongdoing and retaliation against whistleblowers.

Former interim New York City Police Commissioner Thomas Donlon claims his oversight efforts were stonewalled by a "racketeering enterprise."
