Mayor Eric Adams indicted on federal charges
Mayor Eric Adams indicted on federal charges - New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing federal criminal charges, according to CBS News, the BBC's US partner.
Adams, 64, was elected to lead the most populous US city nearly three years ago on a promise to rein in crime.
But he and a string of top officials in his orbit have faced growing scrutiny as part of multiple federal corruption probes.
The indictment remains sealed but would make Adams, 64, the first mayor in city history to be charged while in office.
Adams released a video statement late on Wednesday where he vowed to fight the charges and remain in office, asking New York residents for both "prayers and patience".
"I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit," he says in the video, adding "I am innocent" and he plans to request an "immediate trial so New Yorkers can hear the truth".
