The wheels of justice are turning on New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was indicted this week on five federal charges that he says are "completely false and founded on lies." Adams delivered a statement – watch below – defending himself against allegations that he engaged in bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy, and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals. "It is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes," Adams said in his address to his constituents. "If so, these charges will be entirely false, based on lies, but they would not be surprising. I always knew that if I stood my ground to all of you that I would be a target. And a target I became." "For months, leaks and rumors have been aimed at me in an attempt to undermine my credibility and paint me as guilty. Just this past week, they searched the home of our new police commissioner looking for documents from 20 years ago, just one week after he joined my administration. Enough. I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit."

AOC, other Democrats want Adams to resign

The charges against Adams date back to 2014 when he was president of the Brooklyn Borough. Plaintiffs claim he 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," according to a 57-page indictment. After accepting luxury travel and other benefits from the Turkish official, Adams is accused of then pressuring the NYC Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a proper fire inspection. According to Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Adams "engaged in a long-running conspiracy" for which he must now be held accountable. "Mayor Adams took these contributions even though he knew they were illegal," Williams said. "He knew these contributions were attempts by a Turkish government official and Turkish businessmen to buy influence with him." Adams is urging the general public to "wait to hear our defense before making any judgments." In the meantime, Adams plans to continue doing his job the same as before. "I look forward to defending myself and defending the people of this city as I've done throughout my entire professional career," Adams said. A former NYPD captain who is up for reelection next year, Adams first took his current office in January 2022, presenting himself as the new face of the Democrat Party. He promised New Yorkers he would be tough on crime and also work to revitalize the Big Apple following its decimation from the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) "pandemic." Instead of representing something new, Adams instead became more of the same old thing. New York City has been overtaken by illegal migrants; crime is through the roof, especially within the city's subway system; and city spending is a mess. Some prominent Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), are calling for Adams to resign, probably because he is speaking out against the Biden regime and its illegal immigration problem. Were Adams to resign, his position would go to the city's public advocate, Jumaane Williams, until a special election is held to vote in a new mayor.
