Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on charges connected to a federal probe that has shaken his administration, sources told The Post.
The historic indictment is expected to be unsealed Thursday by US Attorney Damian Williams, according to the sources
Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.
Mayor Eric Adams attended a gala Metropolitan Museum of Art with President Joe Biden in attendance — just hours before news broke of his impending indictment.
Adams was spotted at the reception just after 6 p.m. along with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby and chef and humanitarian Jose Andres.
News of the unsealed indictment emerged just at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
The mayor was not seen chatting with the prez.
A lawyer for Mayor Eric Adams ripped the FBI's early morning search of Gracie Mansion as a "spectacle" -- saying the feds came to take one of the mayor’s phones.
“Federal agents appeared this morning at Gracie Mansion in an effort to create a spectacle (again) and take Mayor Adams' phone (again),” the attorney, Alex Spiro, said in a statement.
“He has not been arrested and looks forward to his day in court. They send a dozen agents to pick up a phone when we would have happily turned it in.”
It comes after federal agents seized the mayor’s phones and iPad on the streets of Manhattan last November as he was leaving an event.

Adams gets to surrender but Republics have to face an early morning SWAT teams executing the warrant.
Eric strayed from the federal plantations rules. He said things you’re not allowed to say. He is tee’d up for the feds to swing away at him and his associates as an example to other state politicians and unelected bureaucrats.
The process is the punishment. They are destroying him in the press before he, or anyone, even know the charges.
It’s Gracie Mansion, the official redidence of NYC mayors.
Democrat NYC mayor Eric Adams must be behind on his “protection” payments to the “Big Guy.”

But it’s A-OK when it’s Trump and other conservatives.
Welcome to the party pal.
I wouldn’t trust the DOJ if they told me the sun would rise tomorrow. Political vendetta by Regime

Poor Mayor Adams. He didn’t try to leave the Democrat’s plantation. He just said the plantation was less than perfect.
I don’t know if it’s true or not. But I heard the FBI bolted this sign to Adams’ front door on the way out.
“Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.”
If it was us they would have shot the dog, beat the wife up and drug us off in our underwear while high-fiving each other.
Immigrants killing NYC the real reason for arrest?
One never knows. I somehow doubt this is just vindictiveness over his asking for help with foreign aliens. The city has been corrupted. But the feds could have ignored it. Whether his straying from the “plantation” was the excuse may be a side issue. It could go a bit deeper than that. Or not. Maybe it’s just the feds saying “submit”. Or it could be something to do with Turkey, NATO, Ukraine etc. One never knows. Heck the agents and prosecutors may not even know the real story. They’ll just charge the case they can make without tipping their hand, ignorant of the true causality.
Have they officially “jumped the shark” when the DOJ lawfare starts taking out Dems?
How long until they hit the “Reign of Lawfare” Madame Guillotine stage?
