NYC Mayor Eric Adams Hit with Additional Federal Corruption Charges

Federal prosecutors have revealed they've uncovered "additional criminal conduct" by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, potentially leading to more charges in his ongoing federal corruption case. This revelation comes in response to Adams' request for more information about the evidence against him, including a list of all alleged co-conspirators.

While the specifics of the new evidence remain undisclosed, the court filing indicates the investigation is expanding to include more crimes and additional individuals. The mayor, who has repeatedly proclaimed his innocence, declined to comment and referred questions to his legal team.

Adams is already facing charges including wire fraud, conspiracy, soliciting contributions from foreign nationals, and bribery, stemming from allegations of receiving over $100,000 in benefits and perks from Turkish officials. These alleged benefits included free and discounted airline tickets and hotel accommodations.

The mayor's trial is currently scheduled for April 21, 2025.

This is a developing story, and further updates are expected.
