NYC Mayor Eric Adams pledges to 'reign' not resign in pair of church appearances
Fox News
NYC Mayor Eric Adams is promising not to resign despite being under federal indictment for crimes that could land him in prison for decades.
"God placed me in this moment and placed in my heart to continue to move this city forward," Adams said on Sunday. "And so you’ll hear the small number of loud people saying, ‘But he should step down.’ No, I’m going to step up. I’m not going to resign. I’m not going to resign. I’m going to reign."
The Post also states that on Monday morning, Adams' legal team filed a motion to dismiss the bribery charge from the federal indictment. The charge accuses Adams of accepting luxury travel bribes in 2021 and 2022 in exchange for the New York City Fire Department to allow the 36-story Turkevi Center, also known as the Turkish House, to go through despite fire safety concerns.
