The U.S. Attorney's Office says when Adams became mayor, he provided favorable treatment to those who gave him these alleged benefits.Prosecutors claim contributions to Adams were smuggled in from foreign countries and paid through U.S.-based straw donors -- allowing overseas contributors to exert influence over American elections.
In addition, Adams is accused of taking advantage of a city program where smaller donations are matched by up to eight times their amounts. Prosecutors say Adams funneled money from large donors through multiple individuals in smaller amounts to fraudulently obtain millions in public funds for his election campaign.Prosecutors say he also received travel benefits from a Turkish government official ...
They're charging Adams with five counts ... one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, federal program bribery and to receive campaign contributions by foreign nationals, one count of wire fraud, two counts of solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national, and one count of bribery.-- NYC's official residence for the city's mayor on the Upper East Side -- early Thursday morning.
