NYC Mayor Adams Indicted on Bribery, Fraud Charges

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal charges, including bribery, wire fraud, and accepting illegal foreign campaign contributions. The indictment, unsealed Thursday, details that Adams allegedly received illegal donations from foreign sources, notably Turkey, and engaged in 'nominee' contributions. Federal agents seized his phone during a raid at his official residence, Gracie Mansion. Adams has denied all allegations and vowed to fight the charges, claiming they are based on lies and politically motivated. Several high-ranking officials in his administration have resigned amidst the investigations, and there are growing calls for his resignation. Despite the legal turmoil, Adams has stated he will not step down and intends to prove his innocence in court.
