The top prosecutors on Mayor Eric Adams’ bribery case scrambled to distance themselves from their “self-serving” former boss Damian Williams — who they accused of using the historic prosecution to springboard his own “political aspirations,” according to new court exhibits obtained by The Post. The unredacted exhibits in the Manhattan case show lead prosecutor Hagan Scotten and three colleagues in damage control over Williams’ op-ed in City & State, which Hizzoner’s attorneys said was a breach of courtroom ethics. Williams’ piece — in which he ripped the “sad state of New York government” and portrayed Gotham as in “deep crisis and “being led with a broken ethical compass” — published in January, a month after he resigned as the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York ahead of President Trump’s inauguration.
