New York City Mayor Eric Adams has reportedly been indicted by a grand jury following a federal corruption investigation.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday night that Adams became the first sitting mayor in the city’s history to face a criminal indictment. The nature of the charges is unclear, as the indictment remains sealed, with further details expected on Thursday.
“I always knew that If I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target—and a target I became,” Adams said in a statement. “If I am charged, I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”
