NEW YORK -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal charges, including bribery, fraud and soliciting illegal campaign donations.The newly unsealed indictment alleges the mayor accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources. The U.S. District Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York is expected to discuss more details at 11:30 a.m.
Brad Lander, the current city comptroller who is running for mayor, said in part that Adams deserves due process, 'however it is clear that defending himself against serious federal charges requires a significant amount of time and attention... The most appropriate path forward is for him to step down.'Several New York City councilmembers, including Robert Holden, Tiffany Caban and Sandy Nurse, released similar statements, expressing doubt Adams can still run the city.
