A longtime adviser to New York City Mayor Eric Adams who resigned from his administration while under FBI scrutiny gave a reporter a potato chip bag filled with cash Wednesday following a campaign event, a gift her lawyer later insisted wasn’t an attempted bribe.

Winnie Greco was outed by news outlet The City for trying to give cash surreptitiously tucked inside a Herr's Sour Cream & Onion ripple potato chip bag to one of its reporters.

Greco, when reached by The Post heading to her car in the Bronx, launched into a baffling explanation for giving cash to giving the bag to The City reporter Katie Honan.

The money, tucked in a red envelope in the bag, was a “gesture of affection,” the volunteer’s lawyer said.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York has sought to argue that his first-term wins have earned him the right to serve a second. But he cannot shake the stench of corruption around his administration.

Never mind “If you see something, say something” — Mayor Eric Adams actually wants New Yorkers to do something. More specifically, he wants a revival of Good Samaritans who rise to the occasion when fellow New Yorkers are in trouble.
