New York City Mayor Indicted on Federal Charges
 

New York Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted amid federal criminal investigations into his administration.

He is expected to be formally charged later today, although it is currently unclear what charge or charges he is facing as the indictment remains sealed.

It comes amid an FBI probe into the running of the largest city in the US and a string of unexpected departures of top officials.

Early this month, federal agents seized electronic devices from multiple top members of the Adams administration as part of what appears to be multiple, separate investigations.

Among the devices taken were those of New York's former police commissioner, Edward Caban - who resigned shortly after - and his twin brother.

Agents also seized devices from the head of New York City's public schools system, David Banks, who then announced on Tuesday that he planned to retire by the end of the year.

The mayor's top legal adviser, Lisa Zornberg, who had defended him at news conferences, resigned this month, saying in a brief letter: "I can no longer effectively serve in my position."

can he work around this?

I'm not sure Arista, but people are already calling on him to resign.

he is using the excuse that all the real criminals are out to get him, doubt it will work

The five counts he has been indicted on are as follows...

Count 1: conspiracy to commit wire fraud, federal program bribery and to receive contributions by foreign nationals
Count 2: wire fraud
Counts 3 and 4: solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national
Count 5: bribery

I thought the dems were the righteous.

Its because he was critical of the illegal invasion of the USA

the black one?

Yes he has taken Big Money into his own pocket
he will have to resign,

He is crazy to ignore this.
