Adams' indictment marks the first time in history a sitting New York City mayor has faced federal charges, amid an investigation into potential foreign donation conspiracies.
The indictment has widespread implications for New York City as Adams' administration faces further scrutiny with a primary on the horizon, illustrating intense political ramifications.
In a show of defiance, Adams stated, 'If I am charged, I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.'
The timing of Adams' indictment coincides with the United Nations General Assembly, adding international weight to the investigation involving alleged foreign electoral support.
