Live updates on Eric Adams indictment: FBI searches New York Mayor’s office

New York Attorney General Announces It Will File ‘Significant Public Sector Corruption Charges’

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York says it will announce “significant public sector corruption charges” at a news conference later Thursday morning.

The announcement came hours after federal agents entered the mayor’s official residence and seized his phone early Thursday, hours before the charges were made public. The news conference is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET.

In a video address released Wednesday night, Adams vowed to fight all charges against him, claiming he had been made a “target” in a case “based on lies.”

The indictment is the final part of a extraordinary couple of weeks in New York City, where federal investigators have targeted members of Adams’ inner circle, leading to a series of raids, subpoenas and firings of high-ranking figures that have plunged City Hall into crisis.
