Big Apple taxpayers are footing $600-an-hour legal bills for three City Hall staffers in the historic federal criminal probes encircling Mayor Eric Adams, The Post has learned.

The high-powered law firm Yankwitt LLP has been tapped by the Adams administration to provide legal representation for three employees who’ve been subpoenaed by the feds, according to a city Law Department letter.

The Post confirmed the identity of only one staffer — Molly Schaeffer, the low-profile head of asylum seeker services who was hit with the information-sharing request nearly two weeks ago at her Brooklyn home.
