Mayor Eric Adams appeared in federal court accused of exploiting relationships for bribes and campaign donations, pleading not guilty to federal corruption charges.
An indictment claims Adams took flights and luxury stays from individuals connected to Turkey, alongside using illicit donations to obtain significant public funding.
Adams faces five charges, including wire fraud and bribery. A conviction could lead to a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
His lawyer plans to seek a dismissal of the charges, while Adams has agreed to conditions releasing him on his own signature.
