NYC Mayor Eric Adams Faces Indictment Amid Federal Probes and Resignations

Eric Adams, indicted on corruption charges, sees top aides resign as investigations into his administration intensify.

Eric Adams is the first NYC mayor to be indicted while in office, facing charges of fraud, bribery, and corruption related to his 2021 mayoral campaign.
Federal investigations have led to multiple resignations among Adams' senior officials, including First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and Schools Chancellor David Banks.
Prosecutors allege Adams solicited illegal campaign donations from foreign entities, defrauding taxpayers of $10 million over the past decade.
Adams maintains his innocence, claiming the charges are based on lies, and has vowed to serve his term and run for re-election.
Governor Kathy Hochul has refrained from taking immediate action, instead urging Adams to address the issues within his administration.
