New York City Mayor Eric Adams became the first Big Apple mayor to be indicted in a federal investigation, a stunning development that shook the city Tuesday. A grand jury handed down the indictment, leading to a pre-dawn search of the Mayor’s official residence, Gracie Mansion, by nearly a dozen federal agents.
Adams, who has been the target of a federal probe for an unspecified period, responded to the indictment in a statement, asserting his innocence. “I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that 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.”
The nature of the charges against Adams remain unclear, as details of the federal investigation are yet to be released. This unprecedented indictment of a sitting NYC mayor has sparked widespread speculation and raised significant questions about the future of Adams’ administration. The city awaits further developments with bated breath as the investigation unfolds.
