NYC Mayor Adams Indicted on Corruption Charges

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted, marking the first time a sitting NYC mayor faces criminal charges. The specific charges have not been disclosed as the indictment remains sealed. The indictment follows a federal corruption investigation involving his administration and potential ties to foreign governments, including Turkey. Adams has proclaimed his innocence and vowed to fight the charges, calling the situation a result of political targeting. Calls for his resignation have emerged, including from US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but Adams has dismissed these demands as based on 'rumors and innuendo.' Further details on the charges are expected to be unveiled soon by federal prosecutors.
