New York City Mayor Eric Adams is scheduled to appear in court Friday afternoon for the first time since he was indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, conspiracy, wire fraud and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals. Adams, who has served as the city’s 110th mayor since January 2022, is accused of receiving luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and in exchange, pressuring New York City’s Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection, according to the 57-page federal indictment unsealed on Thursday. The allegations noted in the indictment stretch back to a decade ago, when Adams served as Brooklyn Borough president. Adams allegedly committed 23 overt acts outlined in the indictment from 2016 to October 2023. The acts allegedly include coordinating straw donations and submitting false disclosure statements to the New York City Campaign Finance Board. “I look forward to defending myself and defending the people of this city as I’ve done throughout my entire professional career,” Adams said at a Thursday news conference. Here’s a timeline of the allegations against Adams, according to the indictment:
Filings from special counsel Jack Smith laying out never-before-seen evidence in the election subversion case against Donald Trump – including interview transcripts and notes from an investigation that counted among its witnesses former Vice President Mike Pence, Ivanka Trump and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows – are now in the hands of a federal court.
The House task force charged with investigating the near assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, will hold its first hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill, probing local law enforcement and a medical examiner over what happened on July 13, when the former president was shot and one rallygoer was killed.
