New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing federal charges of bribery, fraud and soliciting a political contribution from a foreign national, according to an indictment that was unsealed on Thursday — a historic circumstance that comes after a months-long investigation.
Early Thursday, federal agents descended upon the mayor’s official residence, Gracie Mansion, member station Gothamistreported, citing law enforcement.
After the indictment was unsealed, Adams maintained his innocence, saying at an outdoor news conference that his legal team would “peruse the entire document.”
Or it points to our lack of choice since these two private parties both directly and indirectly choose who we’re allowed to vote for.
The NYC mayoral primary election was very competitive with ranked choice voting. Adams barely won.
