Adams asserted his innocence, stating: 'I can do this job, and I will continue to do this job, and I have the right team to do the job.' He maintained that he will not resign despite the serious charges against him.
The indictment highlights that Adams allegedly accepted 'improper valuable benefits' from foreign businessmen, including luxury travels, while soliciting illegal contributions from foreign nationals for his campaign.
Notably, the mayor's campaign used foreign contributions to the city's tax-funded Matching Funds Program, potentially affecting the legitimacy of his funding strategies by drawing up to $10 million in taxpayer funds.
The unsealed indictment indicates that Adams had plans for future illegal contributions for the upcoming 2025 election, raising significant concerns about his conduct and adherence to campaign finance laws.
