New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal criminal charges, according to people familiar with the matter, marking a stunning blow to the leader of the nation’s largest city.
It couldn’t immediately be learned what charges Adams is facing. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are expected to announce details of the case on Thursday, the people said.
The mayor said in a video statement Wednesday night that any charges would be based on lies.“If I am charged, I know I am innocent. I will request an immediate trial so that New Yorkers can hear the truth,” he said.
Adams indicated he had no plans to resign. “Make no mistake: You elected me to lead this city—and lead it I will,” he said.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan declined to comment. The New York Times earlier reported the charges.
