In a historic and deeply consequential move, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five criminal counts, including wire fraud and bribery. The indictment, unsealed earlier today, centers around alleged illicit contributions to his 2021 mayoral campaign from a Turkish government official who, according to federal prosecutors, sought to gain political influence over Adams. The unsealing marks the culmination of a prolonged federal investigation, bringing to light serious charges against the mayor of the nation’s largest city.
