In a video speech released Wednesday night, Adams vowed to fight any charges against him, asserting he had been made a "target" in a case "based on lies." I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit, he said.
The indictment caps off an extraordinary few weeks in New York City, as federal investigators have honed in on members of Adams' inner circle, producing a drum-beat of raids, subpoenas and high-level resignations.
Federal prosecutors are believed to be leading multiple, separate inquiries involving Adams and his senior aides, relatives of those aides, campaign fundraising and possible influence peddling of the police and fire departments.
