00:00
He's the first New York City mayor to be indicted on criminal charges.
00:06
But as he faces mounting calls to step down, Eric Adams continues to claim his innocence
00:12
and says he will carry on doing his job.
00:15
My attorneys will take care of the case so I can take care of the city.
00:20
My day-to-day will not change.
00:23
Adams' Upper Manhattan residence was raided by the FBI Thursday morning as part of a sprawling
00:28
corruption investigation into the New York City mayor.
00:32
He's accused of having received illegal campaign contributions, as well as free flights, lavish
00:37
meals and hotel stays from several Turkish officials and businessmen.
00:42
In exchange, Adams allegedly took action that benefited the Turkish government, including
00:47
pressuring city officials to open a new consulate building despite safety concerns.
00:53
The New York City mayor is also accused of disguising unlawful donations by funneling
00:57
them through U.S. citizens, helping him qualify for an additional $10 million in public financing.
01:04
On Thursday, he was charged with conspiracy, fraud and bribery in a five-count indictment
01:09
that could see him jailed for decades.
01:11
As the indictment alleges, Mayor Adams engaged in a long-running conspiracy in which he solicited
01:17
and knowingly accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign donors and corporations.
01:23
Adams knew that these wealthy individuals could not legally donate in a U.S. election.
01:28
The investigation sparked a string of high-profile resignations in recent weeks, including New
01:33
York City's police commissioner, health commissioner and school's chancellor.
