President Biden won’t cough up major federal assistance to help New York City address the migrant crisis until after the 2024 presidential election, a prominent lawyer with close ties to Mayor Eric Adams’ camp claimed Wednesday.
Criminal defense attorney Arthur Aidala, appearing on the 770 WABC’s “Sid & Friends in the Morning” radio show, said a City Hall official relayed to him that the White House told Adams to suck it up until Biden is re-elected.
“I don’t think I’m betraying any confidences… They were on their hands and knees behind closed doors begging,” said Aidala, who is particularly close to Adams’ confidante and former chief of staff Frank Carone.
“And basically the word they got back was, `Hang on for a year. If Biden gets re-elected, he will cut you a check for a lot of money. But we’re not doing it until after the presidential election,,'” said Aidala.
