Desi Lydic: 报道了纽约市市长埃里克·亚当斯因贿赂和欺诈指控被起诉一事，这是纽约市历史上首次有在职市长面临刑事指控。该报道详细介绍了亚当斯涉嫌接受土耳其官员的贿赂，包括免费升级土耳其航空的商务舱机票以及为未通过消防安全检查的土耳其领事馆大楼获得许可。此外，Desi Lydic 还指出，除了市长之外，纽约市政府还有许多其他官员也面临调查，这表明该市政府存在系统性腐败问题。她对纽约市民对市长被起诉的反应感到惊讶，并认为这反映了纽约市民对政府的普遍失望情绪。
Michael Kosta: Michael Kosta 开玩笑说，由于纽约市政府官员的大规模辞职和被捕，他成为了纽约市的临时市长。他描述了他如何接管市政厅，并处理一些市政事务，例如雇佣消防员、关闭地铁线路和参加游行活动。最后，他承认自己也接受了贿赂，并被揭露。
