New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing five criminal charges, including wire fraud, bribery and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations.
The federal indictment against Adams has now turned him into a criminal defendant, making him the first sitting mayor to be charged in New York City history.
The mayor and other top city officials are facing growing scrutiny as part of multiple federal corruption probes, including whether his campaign received illegal foreign donations from Turkey.
As mayor, he has taken a tough-on-crime stance, including a move to reintroduce a controversial unit of plain-clothes police officers to New York City streets.
