NYC Mayor Adams Indicted on Five Corruption Charges
News summary

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five corruption charges, including wire fraud, bribery, and soliciting illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals. The indictment alleges Adams defrauded the city's public campaign finance program of $10 million and accepted lavish overseas trips funded by Turkish officials and businesspeople in exchange for political favors. He is accused of coercing New York City's Fire Department to approve a new Turkish consulate despite safety concerns. Adams, who denies all charges and refuses to resign, faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted. This marks the first time a sitting NYC mayor has faced criminal charges, and the case has sparked speculation about a potential political comeback for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Adams's arraignment is scheduled before U.S. Magistrate Judge Katharine Parker.
