New York Mayor Eric Adams likely to be indicted on federal charges

New York Mayor Eric Adams is expected to face federal charges by prosecutors out of the Southern District of New York, with sources indicating charges could be filed as soon as Thursday. The Adams administration has seen high-level resignations amid ongoing federal probes, with one investigation focused on possible illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources in conjunction with the Turkish government. Other investigations include allegations of pressure on the city’s former fire commissioner to approve a building housing the Turkish Consulate despite safety concerns. Adams has denied any wrongdoing and pledged to fight any charges with all his strength. Phone seizures, resignations, and searches of homes belonging to top officials close to Adams have added further turmoil to his administration. The city government is facing a dire predicament with multiple ongoing investigations, leaving questions about leadership and policy direction. This is a developing story and updates are expected.
