NY

Eric L. Adams, a retired police captain who was elected as New York City’s 110th mayor nearly three years ago on a promise to rein in crime, has been indicted following a federal corruption investigation, people with knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.

The indictment remained sealed on Wednesday night, and it was unclear what charge or charges Mr. Adams will face. But when they are made public, he will become the first New York City mayor to be criminally charged while in office.

The indictment promised to reverberate across the nation’s largest city and beyond, plunging Mr. Adams’s embattled administration further into chaos just months before he is set to face challengers in a hotly contested mayoral primary.

Representatives of Mr. Adams and his campaign said they had no immediate comment.

Brendan R. McGuire and Boyd M. Johnson III, partners at WilmerHale who represent the mayor, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Representatives of the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, the F.B.I. and the city Department of Investigation declined to comment.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Shocked face.

Shocking.

Must have ticked off the NYC machine. Mayors typically could get away with murder.

Once he crossed the Biden organization criticizing his border policy his fate was sealed.

I saw a NY Post headline saying this was the case — once he crossed Biden on illegals that’s when the feds started to sniff around
