NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a federal grand jury, with the charges currently sealed. This indictment follows a series of federal investigations into Adams’ administration, sparking a major political scandal.
Adams, a former police captain turned politician, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. “If I am charged, I am innocent and will fight with every ounce of my strength,” Adams stated, vowing to continue serving the city.
The investigations gained momentum after FBI raids targeted key figures in Adams’ circle, including the city’s police commissioner and his own fundraising chief. As federal prosecutors dig deeper into possible influence peddling and campaign finance violations, Adams’ administration faces mounting legal challenges.
