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."
