NYC Mayor Eric Adams is scheduled to appear in court today after his indictment on federal bribery and wire fraud charges.
NEW YORK -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams is scheduled to appear in court Friday to be arraigned on federal bribery, conspiracy and campaign finance charges. Prosecutors allege he abused his power for nearly a decade, putting the interests of foreign nationals above those of his own constituents. Adams denied the accusations laid out in a sprawling 57-page indictment, maintaining his innocence and saying he is ready to fight the charges in court. 'I follow the rules, I follow the law.
'Laws that are designed to ensure that officials like him serve the people, not the highest bidder, not a foreign bidder, and certainly not a foreign power,' Williams said. The indictment also detailed how the mayor allegedly tried to hide their criminal conduct, saying his campaign fundraiser 'called Adams five times' while the FBI was at her door with a search warrant.
