New York City Mayor Eric Adams has arrived at the federal court where he is set to be arraigned on corruption charges stemming from alleged bribes taken from Turkish diplomats and businesspeople.
The indictment, unsealed on Thursday, said Adams received campaign funding and luxury travel perks, including rooms at opulent hotels and meals at high-end restaurants, in exchange for pressuring city officials.
I will continue to do my job as mayor, he said, responding to those calling for his resignation amidst the allegations.
Adams faces five criminal charges and could face decades in prison if found guilty, as among the calls for his resignation comes from prominent figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
