New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday he has no intention of stepping down after federal prosecutors indicted him on corruption charges. This is Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Damian Williams: “Mayor Adams engaged in a long-running conspiracy in which he solicited and knowingly accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign donors and corporations. As we allege, Mayor Adams took these contributions even though he knew they were illegal and even though he knew these contributions were attempts by a Turkish government official and Turkish businessmen to buy influence with him. … We also allege that the mayor sought and accepted well over $100,000 in luxury travel benefits from some of the same foreign actors who arranged many of the illegal campaign contributions.”

In exchange, prosecutors allege Adams helped Turkey’s government open a new 36-story consular building near the United Nations without a fire inspection. We’ll have more after headlines.
