Hagan Scotten from the US Attorney's Office stated during an Oct. 2 conference that there is a likelihood of additional charges for co-conspirators linked to Mayor Eric Adams's indictment. Scotten emphasized the solid evidence backing the 5-count indictment, highlighting that the prosecution possesses a substantial amount of material, including communications and records that demonstrate a nearly decade-long scheme involving undisclosed travel benefits and illegal foreign campaign donations.
The prosecution's discovery material is extensive, including text messages, voice memos from Turkish officials, and other detailed records. This evidence supports accusations that Mayor Adams orchestrated a scheme for nearly ten years, receiving illegal benefits. Multiple witnesses are prepared to testify against the mayor regarding these illegal contributions. Moreover, federal agents have seized a phone from Adams that could reveal further incriminating evidence but remains locked as he changed the passcode just before it was confiscated.
