Mayor Eric Adams pleaded not guilty to charges of public corruption, including bribery and campaign finance fraud, making him the first sitting NYC mayor to be indicted.
Defense attorney Alex Spiro expressed strong conviction that the prosecution's case is 'frivolous,' claiming that evidence will demonstrate that the allegations do not hold water.
Adams' attorney challenged the validity of the case, describing it as the 'airline upgrade corruption case' and asserting that all gifts received were lawful.
Spiro alleged a key staffer in the indictment lied about the mayor’s knowledge regarding soliciting foreign donations, raising questions about the integrity of the investigation.
