Thu Sep 26 14:09:05 UTC 2024: ## NYC Mayor Adams Indicted, FBI Seizes Electronic Device from Gracie Mansion
**New York, NY** – New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on Wednesday night, with charges believed to stem from an investigation into his alleged ties to the Turkish government. Following the indictment, the FBI raided Gracie Mansion, the Mayor’s official residence, early Thursday morning, seizing an electronic device.
Former US Attorney Joyce Vance, speaking to MSNBC, highlighted the potential significance of the device. She described phones as “a real treasure trove” for investigators, capable of revealing connections between individuals and events, as well as providing concrete evidence supporting a prosecution. Vance emphasized that forensic investigators can retrieve even deleted data from phones, including communication patterns and addresses.
Mayor Adams addressed the indictment in a statement, declaring his innocence and vowing to fight the charges. “I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers, I would be a target—and a target I became,” he said. “If I am charged, I am innocent, and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”
Details of the indictment are expected to be released later today.
