A former top mayoral staffer who was fired for calling Charlie Kirk’s assassination “karma” has been indicted for running two separate pay-to-play schemes that netted him $16,000 total in bribes, the feds announced Tuesday. Tony Herbert, who served as then-Mayor Eric Adams’ citywide public housing liaison, allegedly pocketed $11,000 cash from a security company executive in exchange for pressuring City Hall officials to steer NYCHA contracts to his firm, court papers unsealed in Manhattan federal court state. In the second alleged scheme, Herbert is accused of taking $5,000 in kickback from a funeral director after getting the city to approve $24,000 in public funds for burial services for low-income people, according to the indictment.
