NYC Mayor Eric Adams Faces New Allegations in Federal Corruption Probe

Prosecutors claim to have uncovered additional criminal conduct by Adams as his trial on bribery and fraud charges approaches in April.

Federal prosecutors allege they have identified new criminal conduct involving Mayor Eric Adams and additional individuals connected to his case.
Adams is already facing a five-count indictment, including charges of bribery, wire fraud, and soliciting foreign contributions, tied to alleged favors for Turkish officials.
The new allegations were disclosed in a court filing as prosecutors opposed Adams' request for detailed information about co-conspirators, citing concerns over witness tampering.
Prosecutors claim Adams and his allies may have sought to influence witness testimony, further complicating the ongoing investigation.
Adams, who has pleaded not guilty, continues to deny wrongdoing and criticized the investigation, while his trial is set to coincide with his 2025 reelection campaign.
