Mayor Eric Adams faces serious federal charges, including conspiracy and bribery, as he pleads not guilty to five counts related to illegal foreign campaign donations.
Prosecutors allege that Adams solicited illegal foreign campaign donations and undisclosed gifts from a Turkish official in exchange for expediting safety approvals for a consulate building.
The indictment suggests a pattern of cover-up by Adams, involving destroyed evidence and using straw donors to illegally funnel money into his campaign coffers.
Despite the severe allegations, Mayor Adams maintains his innocence, asserting that the prosecution's case is based on falsehoods and mischaracterizations.
