New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted Thursday on federal charges alleging that he took bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams speaks to members of the press at a news conference in New York, Monday, Sept. 16, 2024.
FBI agents entered the mayor’s official residence and seized his phone early Thursday, hours before the indictment was made public. The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has declined to comment on the investigation, though it said it would announce “significant public corruption charges” at an 11:30 a.m. news conference. An FBI spokesperson declined to comment. A spokesperson for the mayor did not immediately respond to questions Thursday morning.
The indictment caps off an extraordinary few weeks in New York City, as federal investigators have homed in on members of Adams' inner circle, producing a drum-beat of raids, subpoenas and high-level resignations.
