Stanley Schlein will review Adams’ petitions that included signatures that were forged or fraudulently obtained.

Former Deputy Mayor Meera Joshi resigned in June from her post as one of the city’s four MTA board members.

A Board of Elections official said it’s up to local district attorneys to determine whether investigations are warranted.

A WNYC and Gothamist investigation found that some of the signatures Mayor Adams's re-election campaign submitted for him to be on the ballot this fall as an independent were fake.

The Adams campaign said it is conducting a review after Gothamist found signatures that were fraudulently obtained or outright forged.

Trent Pool runs Public Appeal, a Wyoming-based company that helped Adams gather petitions.
