New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted following a federal corruption investigation, making him the first sitting mayor to face criminal charges. The specifics of the charges are still unclear, but federal prosecutors are expected to reveal more information soon. This development comes after several of Adams’ closest aides and advisers have come under federal investigation, with raids conducted on their homes. Adams himself had his phones and iPad seized by FBI agents, and his administration is facing multiple inquiries related to campaign fundraising and possible influence peddling in the police and fire departments. Adams has maintained his innocence and insisted that he and his team have followed the law. The mayor’s attorney disclosed the seizure of his electronic devices several days later, with other high-ranking officials within his administration also having their devices seized by federal investigators. The Adams administration has not provided a comment on the indictment at this time. Stay tuned for more details as the situation continues to unfold.
