NYC Mayor Eric Adams Says He Doesn't Plan To Resign Despite Federal Corruption Case Against Him

8 weeks ago New York City Mayor Eric Adams says he’s “not surprised” by the federal corruption charges he faces and that he doesn’t plan to resign. He told reporters Thursday that, “I ask New Yorkers to wait to hear our defense before making any judgments. From here, my attorneys will take care of the case so I can take care of the city.” Adams was indicted on charges alleging that he took illegal campaign contributions and bribes from foreign nationals in exchange for favors that included helping Turkish officials get fire safety approvals for a new diplomatic building in the city. FBI agents seized Adams’ phone early Thursday, hours before the indictment was made public.
