An indictment against him was unsealed Thursday morning, revealing the charges in the alleged campaign contribution scheme. He is now the first sitting New York City mayor to be criminally charged.Adams spoke out in a press conference after the charges were announced.'We are not surprised, we expected this. This is not surprising to us at all.
'Adams said it would be an 'insult' to the people of New York if any city employees refuse to do their jobs while the case proceeds.'It's an unfortunate day, and it's a painful day. But inside of all of that, it's a day where we will finally reveal why, for 10 months, I have gone through this,' Adams said.
