New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal corruption charges.
As of this reporting, it is unknown what exact charges he faces. Federal investigations hinged partly on Adams’ involvement with the Turkish government, which seems to have provided him with what investigators say were illegal foreign donations.
When the indictment is announced, Adams will be the first mayor of New York City charged with a federal crime while in office.
His indictment comes just a few months before a highly competitive mayoral primary.
