    Feds charge NYC Mayor Eric Adams with bribery | Full press conference 20:57

    NEW YORK - New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on bribery, campaign finance and conspiracy charges.

    The five count indictment includes these charges against Adams:

    • Conspiracy to commit wire fraud, federal program bribery, and to receive campaign contributions from foreign nationals
    • Wire fraud
    • Solicitation of a contribution from a foreign national (two counts)
    • Bribery

    The indictment alleges that, since he became Brooklyn borough president in 2014, "Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him."

    Prosecutors say that as Adams geared up to run for mayor in 2021, he "not only accepted, but sought illegal campaign contributions."

    "After his inauguration as mayor of New York City, Adams soon began preparing for his next election, including by planning to solicit more illegal contributions and granting request from those who supported his 2021 mayoral campaign with such donations."
