Feds indict New York City Mayor Eric Adams

Federal prosecutors indicted Mayor Eric Adams after a corruption investigation, marking the first time a sitting mayor has been indicted in New York City.

The New York Times reported that the indictment was filed under seal by prosecutors, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

Adams plans to turn himself in to authorities early next week, sources said.

Details about the exact accusations are unclear but believed to be connected to a kickback scheme involving the Turkish government funding his mayoral campaign, according to sources.

Even before the indictment, Adams faced calls from fellow Democrats to step down in response to the swirling federal investigations and resignations by top administration officials.

There are at least four ongoing federal investigations involving Adams’ administration and at least eight top aides to Adams have been served subpoenas and search warrants, according to published reports.
