"The document suggests that the country's largest police force is riddled with corruption and criminal conspiracy and needs to be seized by the federal government in order to restore integrity. This comes after Donlon's attorneys filed a July 16 lawsuit against the NYPD and city, claiming that under Mayor Adams, the department has become criminal to its core. The suit raised numerous accusations against officials running the department, including acts of retaliation that saw the arrest of Donlon's wife."
"Since the filing of Donlon's federal complaint on July 16, 2025, not a single law enforcement agency has contacted him or his counsel. That silence signals complicity from NYPD leadership, which has chosen to protect itself rather than confront criminal misconduct in its own ranks. By refusing even to open an inquiry into credible allegations of forgery, fraud, and racketeering, the nation's largest police force has shown it is actively shielding its leadership and preserving a corrupt system from scrutiny, Scola said in a statement."
A lawyer for former interim Police Commissioner Thomas Donlon sent a Sept. 9 letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi requesting that the Justice Department assume control of the NYPD, citing an alleged internal conspiracy and widespread corruption. The letter names top city and police officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, Chief of Department John Chell, former Chief Jeffery Maddrey, Deputy Mayor Kaz Daughtry, and former Deputy Commissioner Tarik Sheppard. The lawyer argues the department needs federal seizure to restore integrity. Donlon's attorneys filed a July 16 lawsuit alleging the department became criminal to its core under Mayor Adams and alleging retaliation, including the arrest of Donlon's wife. The lawyer reports no law enforcement agency has contacted him or opened an inquiry since the complaint.
