On September 26 2024, Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York City, was indicted on charges of bribery, conspiracy, campaign finance violations, and wire fraud. The indictment alleges that Adams accepted illegal campaign contributions, luxury travel, and other benefits from foreign nationals and businesses over nearly a decade. He reportedly used his influence to provide favors, including pressuring the NYC Fire Department to approve an unsafe Turkish consular skyscraper. Adams allegedly concealed these benefits, engaged in straw donor schemes, and fraudulently obtained over $10 million in public funds for his 2021 mayoral campaign.
