What historic event involving Eric Adams occurred in September and what were the allegations against him?
In September, Eric Adams became the first sitting New York City mayor ever charged with federal crimes. He was indicted on multiple charges including allegedly accepting fraudulent campaign contributions and engaging in a bribery scheme with agents of the Turkish government. The allegations claim Adams received campaign funds, gifts, and luxury travel from Turkish government representatives in exchange for performing official favors. Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York (SDNY) brought these corruption charges against Adams, essentially accusing him of accepting money he wasn't legally allowed to take and, in some cases, providing official favors in exchange for these illegal benefits.
