Eric Adams has been indicted following a federal corruption investigation, a new report has revealed.
The indictment remained sealed Wednesday night, insiders told The New York Times - as its contents still remain unknown.

Should NYS go for Trump, it would be EPIC.

Didn’t he just evict 50,000 invaders? I’m sure that didn’t sit well with the powers that be.
“The only surprise is that they went after him.”
More likely they’re trying to take the focus off how corrupt they’ve become, especially re Trump, and they’ve been taking a tremendous amount of heat. To me, the timing is suspicious. Are they hoping this will repair their reputation?
“sources say” the 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 ...
All he had to do was send a few thousand over to Martha’s Vineyard, Kennebunkport, and down to Crawford.
Imo he is a corrupt lightweight
As soon as he got into office his money walked
out the door in his bespoke wardrobe, trips abroad- here& there ,using city money to pay for them
Attending cultural events , fashion shows to rub elbows with the rich & famous.
The guys running everything have something on everybody who is anybody.
Step out of line and something will come up even if they have to plant child pron on your PC. You’re done.
The ghosts of Tammany Hall.
not a shocker. i hate corrupt politicians as much as anyone but sadly he was the best choice in the last round as the others were of the communist ilk.
I’ll take a corrupt former-cop over a Dinkins or de Blasio any day.
As corrupt as he is make a deal with Trump and endorse him and let’s carry NY
“The bitch set me up....”
Thats exactly right.

“NYC Mayor Eric Adams Fires Back, Claims He’s Being Targeted by Biden’s Federal Government for Allegedly ‘Defending’ New Yorkers Against Illegal Aliens.”
Yeah, I’m sure that’s the reason.
Has he pulled the race card yet? He will, and soon.
This one’s the lawfare card, legitimately played in Trump’s case, but I dunno about this guy. But race card is next at the bottom of the deck.
His middle name is ‘ham-sandwich’.
Ha Ha!
