New York City Mayor Eric Adams faces charges for accepting illegal campaign contributions and free trips, with prosecutors alleging he did favors for donors in return.
Adams' indictment accuses him of taking improper gifts from Turkish officials, in exchange for helping them secure fire department approvals for a new diplomatic tower.
Adams maintains his innocence, arguing that accepting some travel perks is not unusual for government officials, insisting he never knowingly accepted illegal contributions.
The court proceedings involve complexities, as Adams' lawyer seeks to minimize his court appearances, while the exact nature of his initial appearance remains unclear.
