New York City Mayor Eric Adams faced allegations late Wednesday night of criminal charges related to accepting "illegal contributions", according to a recently released criminal indictment.

After taking office as Mayor of New York City, Adams quickly began preparing for his next election, intending to seek additional "illegal contributions" and fulfilling requests from those who backed his 2021 mayoral run with such donations.

The indictment was released on Thursday detailing five federal charges against Adams in connection to bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy, and soliciting contributions from foreign nationals that likely stem from an investigation into his alleged ties to the Turkish government.
