NYC Mayor Pleads Not Guilty to Bribery and Fraud Charges
New York City Mayor, Eric Adams, has pleaded not guilty to charges of bribery and fraud, according to court documents obtained by our news team.
Adams, who has been in office since January 2022, was arrested earlier today by the FBI and NYPD on charges of accepting bribes and embezzling city funds. The mayor’s lawyer, Stuart London, entered the not guilty plea on his behalf during a brief court appearance.
The charges against Adams stem from a wide-ranging investigation into allegations of corruption and abuse of power. Prosecutors allege that Adams accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from various individuals and companies in exchange for favorable treatment and city contracts.
Adams has denied any wrongdoing and has vowed to continue serving as mayor. "I am innocent of these charges and I will fight them vigorously," he said in a statement.
The investigation is ongoing and it is unclear at this time what the full extent of the alleged corruption is. The mayor’s office has released a statement saying that Adams will continue to carry out his duties as mayor while the case is pending.
