This moderate Democrat mayor was just indicted on 5 federal charges. Why now?

Today, the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan indicted Adams on five charges, which include bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals. For months, federal investigators looked at everything, from Adam’s frequent travel to Turkey to a construction company in Brooklyn, whose employees allegedly donated over $13,000 to Eric Adam’s 2021 campaign, according to CNN.

But, why now?

Some argue that the intense scurrility Mayor Adams, a Democrat, has faced is payback for his not-so-progressive opinions on mass migration. Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants have flocked to New York City, costing the city over $10 billion.
