Federal agents searched the official residence of New York City Mayor Eric Adams early Thursday morning, just hours before prosecutors were expected to reveal details of a federal criminal indictment against the mayor. This morning the indictment remained sealed in Manhattan federal court.
The New York Times reports investigators are looking into whether Adams conspired with the Turkish government to funnel illegal foreign donations into his campaign. They’re also probing his ties to five other countries: China, Israel, South Korea, Uzbekistan and Qatar.
A growing number of Democrats have called on Adams to resign, including New York Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We’ll have the latest on the federal corruption probe into Mayor Eric Adams and his administration after headlines.
