Summary

Federal prosecutors have identified “additional criminal conduct” involving New York Mayor Eric Adams, who faces five charges, including bribery and wire fraud, ahead of his April trial.

Prosecutors allege Adams and his allies may have influenced witnesses and oppose his request for more details about the charges, citing risks to their ongoing investigation.

Adams, the first sitting NYC mayor indicted in the modern era, denies wrongdoing and calls the probe politically motivated.

Prosecutors suggest further charges and defendants in the case are likely.

    “it’s because I’m a black mayor!” No you piece of ass clown, David Dinkins was great (PAL, updates to rent control that empowered citizens etc), you’re a boot sucking liar son of a bitch who used to be a shitass cop. Fuck you, and the crown Vic you rode in on.

    politically motivated.

    I think politicians have really lost their shame or any ability to care because now all they have to do is say the attack is “politically motivated” and non-zero number of people just fucking buy it.
