A federal indictment unsealed Thursday accuses Adams of accepting bribes—including illegal campaign contributions and luxury travel perks—from Turkish nationals and at least one official, during both his time as mayor and as Brooklyn borough president.
After news broke Wednesday night that the mayor was indicted by federal prosecutors, a chorus of elected officials and local leaders have called for Eric Adams to resign, while others say they’re withholding judgement until more details are released. Adams has maintained his innocence.
