A former colleague of New York City mayor Eric Adams has accepted a plea deal to admit guilt in a scheme to organize illegal donations to Mr. Adams’s 2021 campaign.

Dwayne Montgomery, who served on the New York City Police Department with Mr. Adams, was one of six people that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged in July in a scheme to facilitate illegal campaign donations to the Adams campaign.
