Federal prosecutors unsealed a 57-page indictment charging New York City Mayor Eric Adams with wire fraud, bribery, and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations.
As Adams' prominence and power grew, his foreign-national benefactors sought to cash in on their corrupt relationships with him, particularly when, in 2021, it became clear that Adams would become New York City's mayor.
I have read the Adams indictment. Yes, I know how much the Supreme Court has narrowed corruption law. But this has emails, dates, direct evidence and there's a clear path to the jury convicting.
Speaking at a press conference after the indictment was unsealed, Adams called it an unfortunate and painful day for him but rejected calls to resign and said, I look forward to defending myself.
