Federal prosecutors have charged Mayor Eric Adams with a corrupt quid pro quo bribery conspiracy, alleging he provided favors in exchange for illegal campaign contributions from foreign donors.
Those implicated in the indictment include Adams' domestic partner and City Hall staffers, with claims of arranging flights, accepting straw donations, and facilitating the swift launch of a Turkish tower.
The indictment suggests systemic corruption over nearly a decade, as it highlights the roles played by close associates who benefitted from luxury travel and accommodations at lavish hotels.
Adams has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, insisting he would not resign despite the gravity of the federal charges against him.
