New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, is at the center of growing speculation regarding a federal investigation that may have led to his indictment. While details remain scarce, reports suggest that it involves potential corruption. Now, many are left wondering whether Eric Adams is getting indicted. Here is everything to know about the same.
Eric Adams reportedly indicted after federal corruption investigation
Eric Adams, New York City’s 110th mayor and a former police captain, has reportedly been indicted following a federal corruption investigation, according to The New York Times. The indictment remains sealed, leaving the exact charges unclear. However, the investigation has reportedly focused on allegations that Adams and his campaign conspired with the Turkish government to accept illegal foreign donations.
If the indictment is confirmed, Adams will become the first sitting New York City mayor to face federal charges. The news follows months of increasing pressure on his administration. Recently, federal agents have been raiding the homes of high-ranking officials within his inner circle. Despite the mounting legal trouble, Adams remains defiant. In a video statement, he maintained his innocence and stated, “I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became.” Adams further vowed to fight the charges and continue his work as mayor. He reassured New Yorkers that he is committed to leading the city through this crisis.
The mayor’s legal troubles come at a critical time. His administration is already embroiled in multiple investigations involving top aides and advisers. Calls for Adams to step down have intensified. Political figures such as Scott Stringer have described Adams’ administration as a “train wreck” and added that the mayor should resign.
The indictment is expected to be made public soon, and federal prosecutors are set to release more details.
