New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been charged with accepting bribes and soliciting illegal foreign donations to his election campaign, according to a federal indictment that was unsealed on Thursday.
I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit, he declared. Adams denied all the charges against him and described them as entirely false and based on lies.
The 57-page indictment is the culmination of a long-running investigation into Adams's 2021 election campaign and his alleged ties to Turkish government officials.
Adams is the first sitting New York mayor in modern history to face criminal charges, leading to significant political pressure and potentially creating a crisis in the city government.
