Thu Sep 26 14:06:38 UTC 2024: ## NYC Mayor Eric Adams Indicted on Public Corruption Charges
**NEW YORK (AP)** – In a stunning turn of events, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal charges of public corruption. The U.S. Attorney’s office in New York will announce the charges at a press conference later today.
This comes after federal agents raided Mayor Adams’ official residence earlier this morning and seized his phone. The indictment follows weeks of intense scrutiny by federal investigators into the Mayor’s inner circle, marked by numerous raids, subpoenas, and high-level resignations.
In a video address released Wednesday evening, Adams vowed to fight any charges against him, accusing the authorities of targeting him based on lies. He claimed to be the victim of a politically motivated investigation.
The indictment throws City Hall into a state of crisis and raises serious questions about the future of Adams’ administration. The press conference is scheduled for 11:30 am EST.
