Mayor Eric Adams addressed the public while awaiting a decision from federal prosecutors regarding his corruption indictment. In his six-minute speech, he passionately defended his character, claiming innocence and asserting that the charges were based on sensationalism. Adams emphasized his commitment to the city's welfare, stating he never broke the law and vowing to regain the trust of New Yorkers. He did not comment on concerns regarding possible connections to President Trump's support, as the U.S. attorney's office is pondering the Justice Department's suggestion to dismiss the charges.
I never broke the law and I never would. I would never put any personal benefit above my solemn responsibility as your mayor.
You can trust me to keep moving the city forward.
