NEW YORK (AP) — 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.

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.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Below is the earlier AP story.

NEW YORK (AP) — FBI agents entered the official residence of New York Mayor Eric Adams early Thursday morning and seized his phone, hours before an indictment containing criminal charges against the Democrat was set to be made public.

Adams was accused by a grand jury on federal criminal charges that remain unsealed, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

“Federal agents showed up at Gracie Mansion this morning in an attempt to create a spectacle (again) and take Mayor Adams’ phone (again),” Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro, said in a statement, adding that the mayor had not been arrested. “They sent a dozen agents to retrieve a phone when we would have happily turned it in.”

Federal law enforcement officers were seen entering the mayor’s Manhattan residence Thursday morning. Several vehicles with federal law enforcement signs were parked outside.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan declined to comment on the investigation, though it planned to discuss the case at an 11:30 a.m. news conference. An FBI spokesman declined to comment. A spokesman for the mayor did not immediately respond to questions Thursday morning.

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.”

“I will fight these injustices with all my strength and spirit,” he said.

It is not yet clear what laws Adams is alleged to have violated or when he will appear in court.

Governor Kathy Hochul has the power to remove Adams from office. Her spokesman, Avi Small, issued a statement Wednesday night saying, “Governor Hochul is aware of these concerning news reports and is monitoring the situation. It would be premature to comment further until the matter has been confirmed by law enforcement.”

The indictment is the final part of a extraordinary couple of weeks in New York City, where federal investigators increasingly targeted Adams’ inner circle, resulting in a series of raids, subpoenas and firings of high-ranking figures.

Federal prosecutors are believed to be conducting multiple, separate investigations into Adams and his senior associates, family members of those associates, campaign fundraising and possible influence peddling of police and fire departments.

In the past two weeks alone, the police chief and the school principal have announced their resignations.

FBI agents seized Adams’ electronic devices nearly a year ago as part of an investigation focused, at least in part, on campaign contributions and Adams’ interactions with the Turkish government. Because the indictments were sealed, it was unknown whether they related to the same cases.

In early September, federal investigators seized equipment from his police chief, the schools chancellor, two deputy mayors and other confidants both inside and outside City Hall.

They all deny that they did anything wrong.
