New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been charged with five counts connected to improper campaign contributions, according to a sweeping indictment unsealed Thursday morning.
At a press conference, moments after the mayor said he was innocent, federal prosecutors pointed to a board, saying: “This is a chart with all of the undisclosed travel benefits that we uncovered during the investigation … if you just sum up all the dollar amounts here, you get to over $100,000.”
The prosecutors added: “These upgrades and freebies were not part of some frequent flyer or loyalty program available to the general public. As we allege, this was a multi-year scheme to buy favor.”

Where is the evidence? Iโm not taking up for him but Iโd like to know.
Impeachment is approaching
Please they would be protecting this guy in a heartbeat using the race card and everything else except he crossed the line when he spoke about the illegals and the problems they're causing…
Yet dumpy is out there breaking the law daily lol
Think this is corrupt? If they would do an actual investigation of Biden this would pale in comparison.
It's past time to charge the corrupt SC conservative so-called justices, too.
What he did wrong was he went against this administration so now he's going to paying for it
Lawfare at work , dont fall in line and charges are coming
But yet they wonโt prosecute bigger fish like our politicians who steal billions. They sure love the low hanging fruit.
Charge Nancy Pelosi for Insider Trading along with most of congressโฆ oh wait you wonโt because itโs all a Kabal Left, Right and Center we need the corruption gone and the MIC taken down
Cool do SCOTUS next
Congress would be a ghost town if the same penalties applied to them. Where's the inside trading oversight?
Isn't he talking about the. NEW YORK MAYOR ADAMS. THIS IS CRAZY. GET RID OF HIM.
SCJ Thomas is shaking in his boots now, Because he got a lot of free stuff too.
… with Foreign National… Ghana. No investigation about his trip(s) to China and closeness with Chinese Communist Party members?
I donโt support his actions, but why is he the only one being prosecuted when you have people sitting on the Supreme Court they do the exact same thing. This country is so corrupt.
He should've never spoke out about the immigrants! None of this was a problem until then.
Not surprised, heโs a demorat
Now indict the corrupt Supreme Court justices.
Who was he about to expose? They got him first. ๐
He criticized the democrat party and the illegal immigration scheme and he became a target . This was pretty predictable
None of this surprises me anymore…sadly.
Finally, some accountability. Pelosi next
Only 100,000 dollars?! He probably stole millions. ๐๐ ๐๐
Mayor Adams, hope the corruption was worth it! Legacies are permanent, and you ruined yours, and for whatโฆ greed!! Justice mattersโฆ Shame on you! ๐คจ
Do the same to the Supreme Court!
Donald Trump and his family got a billion from Saudi Arabia. Why aren't they in jail?
What about those taking money from Isreal for years? Isn't that double standard
Ok now letโs do the Supreme Court
It always seems to be a near exclusive electrd democrat.
You just have to clap your hands seeing such a big dollar bust from such an elusive and totally sophisticated mastermind. I mean you're really recovering those lost tax dollars here from the most prolific corruption cases of our time. We look forward to seeing additional laws being passed which prevent material objects from falling into the hands of discerning consumers.
Who else is Kamala and Democrats planning to replace and put in their Liberal Socialist people like J. Williams. That's right look it up.
Hes gonna get at least 3 months. At least. ๐
When are Obama and Hillary going to be arrested?
This went very fast – does this include Riyahd (Saudia Arabia) to Mar-a-largo?
This is in NY. Its just another day!
Let's charge those SCOTUS judges who did this same thing!
Guess the mayor should have kept his views about the โimmigration problemโ,to himself,huh?๐
$100k was it worth it? He could have easily afforded all these expenses from his pocket๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
