Mayor Eric Adams entered a not-guilty plea to federal charges involving bribery and illegal foreign campaign donations, facing allegations of a decade-long public corruption.
According to the indictment, Adams allegedly solicited illegal foreign campaign donations from Turkey in exchange for expediting the approval of a consulate building.
Federal investigators executed a search warrant at the home of Ingrid Lewis-Martin, Adams' senior adviser, adding to the escalating drama surrounding his administration.
Amid growing calls for his resignation, Gov. Kathy Hochul hinted at her authority to potentially remove Adams as the federal prosecution unfolds.
