The specifics of the Adams indictment have been revealed…

According to a New York Post report, New York City Mayor Eric Adams faces a five-count indictment as part of a long-running federal probe that’s ensnared a number of his closest allies and aides.

“In 2014, Eric Adams, the defendant, became Brooklyn Borough President. Thereafter, for nearly a decade, 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,” the indictment charges.

“Eric Adams the defendant, sought and accepted illegal campaign contributions in the form of “nominee” or “straw” contributions, meaning that the true contributors conveyed their money through nominal donors, who falsely certified they were contributing their own money,” the indictment stated.

“By smuggling their contributions to Adams through U.S.-based straw donors, Adams’s overseas contributors defeated federal laws that serve to prevent foreign influence on U.S. elections.”

From The New York Post:

Prior to the indictment coming down, sources had revealed the charges were likely connected to allegations the Turkish government had illegally funneled money into Adams’ mayoral campaign in exchange for approval of the Turkish consulate in Manhattan.

It wasn’t immediately clear when Adams would have to appear in court in the wake of the indictment. Sources had earlier told The Post he wasn’t expected to turn himself in until early next week.

The court filing dropped shortly before US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, was slated to hold an 11.30 a.m. news conference to announce “significant public corruption charges.”

Meanwhile, nearly a dozen FBI agents were spotted swarming Adams’ mayoral home, Gracie Mansion, Thursday just hours before the indictment was made public.

Eric Adams is the first New York mayor to be charged with a federal crime while in office.

Earlier this week, New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called on Adams to resign amid multiple scandals from within his administration.

“The flood of resignations and vacancies are threatening government function,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement on X. “Nonstop investigations will make it impossible to recruit and retain a qualified administration. For the good of the city, he should resign.”
