(The Center Square) – Federal prosecutors indicted Mayor Eric Adams after a corruption investigation, marking the first time a sitting mayor has been indicted in New York City.
The New York Times reported that the indictment was filed under seal by prosecutors, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Adams plans to turn himself in to authorities early next week, sources said.
Details about the exact accusations are unclear but believed to be connected to a kickback scheme involving the Turkish government funding his mayoral campaign, according to sources.
Even before the indictment, Adams faced calls from fellow Democrats to step down in response to the swirling federal investigations and resignations by top administration officials.
There are at least four ongoing federal investigations involving Adams’ administration and at least eight top aides to Adams have been served subpoenas and search warrants, according to published reports.
Eric Adams is guilty of a federal crime? Plus eight top aides? YYYYYEEEEESSSS. No surprise here.
THIS IS because he spoke against biden.. IMO at least.
COMMENTlike Adams and Eve,,,,,,,Adams on the eve of his own self-destruction. I agree, this is using the government legal agencies to shut Adams up about the border and more, BEFORE the election and serve as a warning to others.
This should really be interesting. Democrats going against one of their own for corruption, while they have had the most corrupt president in history for the past 4 years. They must be throwing Adams under the bus to show how “unbiased” they are in maintaining public official’s trustworthiness. Hahahahahahahaha.
He spoke out against sanctuary status for New York. They are simply sending a message to other Social Democrat mayors.
yea.. Don’t speak ill of Joe.
