New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on five federal charges by a grand jury on Wednesday night, a move that comes after a series of FBI raids targeting key members of his administration led to multiple resignations last week.
The indictment, unsealed on Thursday, alleges Adams has engaged in a decade-long string of corrupt practices, including seeking "straw donations" to abuse a public campaign donation matching program, accepting improper gifts and luxury travel from Turkish businesses and officials, and acting on behalf of a Turkish official.
