The indictment makes Mr. Adams the first sitting New York City mayor to face criminal charges. The mayor vowed to fight the charges.
Here’s the latest on the mayor’s indictment. Mayor Eric L. Adams has been indicted on federal criminal charges, according to people with knowledge of the matter, and will be the first mayor in New York City history to be charged while in office.
The indictment is sealed, and it was unclear what charge or charges Mr. Adams will face or when he will surrender to the authorities. Federal prosecutors are expected to announce the details of the indictment on Thursday.

.................it’s all about money and stealing that which does not belong to you...............it always is with politicians..............the temptation is great and some can’t help but yield to it............
OK, WHAT federal policy specifically did Mr. Adams criticize?
Let me guess, he went too far and criticized the mass of illegals.
“Details about the exact accusations remained unclear, but are believed to be connected to allegations of the Turkish government illegally funneling money into his mayoral campaign, according to sources. It’s also uncertain how the indictment is related to a sweeping set of Sept. 4 raids that targeted several high-profile Adams administration officials, which sent City Hall into a weeks-long tailspin as news reports emerged of investigations focused on alleged corruption by the mayor’s inner circle.”
Got a bridge to sell ya!
oh boy
a pre-dawn raid by the fbi with guns drawn?
rats! he’s a democrat
so no
If it was an “R” the charges would have magically somehow shockingly leaked.
The guy who becomes mayor is the black openly Marxist Jumaane Williams, Public Advocate. So I don’t think the current NAACP is too bummed out.
Doubt it. All the talk here has Adams going down for money schemes with UN reps from four or five countries.
I agree.
And the Clinton crime cartel.
There it is - he was taking money from both sides.
“sources say” investigation into illegal campaign finance led to an investigation of bid-rigging, so sounds like pay-to-play ... also, i suspect that many/most/all of the plethora of underlings arrested in recent weeks have rolled over on the mayor, so the Feds probably have a damn strong case against the mayor ...
Former New York governors Eliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo can run for Mayor of New York City.
How about Donald Trump Jr.?
This is why Democrats make sure every one of their politicians are corrupt. That way they can take them out if they ever start straying from the party line or get “too big for their britches”.
Why, do you hate him?
I wouldn't wish that job on anyone.
I see your point.
