Former interim police commissioner of New York City, Thomas Donlon, has filed a $10 million defamation claim against Mayor Eric Adams. The claim stems from allegations by Mayor Adams questioning Donlon’s mental fitness for the top cop job. This legal action follows a previous lawsuit by Donlon accusing the Mayor and his deputies of running the police department as a criminal racket. The accusations have created a legal battle focused on leadership and integrity within the city’s law enforcement.
