New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted after a federal corruption investigation, it has been reported. The indictment is sealed and it is unclear what charges Adams, a Democrat, will face, the New York Times and Associated Press reported, citing sources. “I always knew that If I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became,” Adams said in a statement.The charges come after the FBI last November searched Adams’ electronic devices, and in the wake of a slew of resignations by top city officials in recent weeks as multiple federal corruption investigations entangle his administration.
He had repeatedly said he wasn’t aware of any wrongdoing, dismissing speculation that he would face charges as “rumours and innuendo,” and vowing as recently as Wednesday afternoon to stay in office.
