Jesse Hamilton, a former state senator now in charge of the city’s massive real estate portfolio, had his cellphone taken last week by state investigators at Kennedy Airport at the same time as they seized devices from Ingrid Lewis-Martin, Mayor Adams’ chief adviser, three sources familiar with the matter told the Daily News. Hamilton was returning from a vacation trip to Japan with Lewis-Martin on Friday when investigators from the Manhattan district attorney’s office swooped in at the airport and took both of their phones, the sources said. Also on the Japan trip with them, sources said, was Diana Boutross, vice chair of real estate giant Cushman Wakefield. It’s unclear if the investigators targeted Boutross, too, and she didn’t return a request for comment. Ingrid Lewis-Martin is pictured at City Hall, Aug. 20, 2024. (Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Daily News) It’s also unclear what Manhattan DA investigation prompted the confiscations of phones from Lewis-Martin and Hamilton. DA investigators raided Lewis-Martin’s home in Brooklyn in conjunction with taking her devices. Additionally, at the same time as the DA investigators confronted Lewis-Martin and Hamilton at the airport, federal authorities served her with a subpoena. Sources confirmed to The News last week that the subpoena requires her to provide grand jury testimony in connection with the investigation into Adams’ campaign that resulted in the mayor’s indictment last week on charges that he solicited and accepted bribes from Turkish government operatives in exchange for political favors. Neither Lewis-Martin nor Hamilton have been publicly accused of wrongdoing by the feds. Adams has pleaded not guilty to his criminal charges. Hamilton was elected in 2014 to Adams’ old seat in the state Senate, served in that role from 2015 to 2018 and remains a close political confidant to the mayor. He was appointed by Adams last year as the deputy commissioner for real estate at the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, serving under the agency’s head Louis Molina, the former Correction commissioner. Upon calling Hamilton’s phone Friday, The News got an automated message saying the number has been disconnected. A DCAS spokeswoman referred comment to Adams’ office when asked about Hamilton’s phone being taken. Liz Garcia, a spokeswoman for Adams, referred The News to Hamilton’s lawyer without identifying the lawyer. A rep for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office declined to comment. Hamilton’s division manages over 380 leases comprised of roughly 37 million square feet of office space owned by the city or rented from private building owners. Prior to his state Senate tenure, he worked for the city Department of Finance. In March 2023, as first reported by The News, Hamilton received an unusual $24,000 raise on top of his $190,000-a-year salary just four months after Adams appointed him to DCAS in his first role there as a lawyer. After Friday’s dramatic law enforcement action at the airport, Lewis-Martin made a remarkable appearance on her attorney Arthur Aidala’s radio show, in which she confirmed her phones were seized and home raided, though she did not mention the investigators had targeted Hamilton, too. In the appearance, she said, “We’re not thieves. And I do believe that in the end, that the New York City public will see that we have not done anything illegal to the magnitude or scale that requires the federal government and the DA office to investigate us.” Though it wasn’t immediately clear what probe prompted Bragg’s investigators to take her and Hamilton’s phones, Lewis-Martin’s name has come up in the DA’s prosecution of Eric Ulrich, Adams’ former Buildings commissioner who was indicted last year on bribery charges. According to Ulrich’s indictment, Lewis-Martin held multiple meetings about city business matters with him and several co-defendants who are accused of bribing him in exchange for political favors. Lewis-Martin wasn’t accused of wrongdoing in Ulrich’s indictment, and Ulrich has pleaded not guilty in that case, which remains pending.
