NEW YORK (AP) — Federal prosecutors said Wednesday they are pursuing “several related investigations” that could lead to additional corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and indictments for people in his orbit.
Prosecutors made the disclosure as the first-term Democrat attended a court hearing days after he was indicted on charges that he accepted about $100,000 worth of free or deeply discounted international flights, hotel stays, meals and entertainment, and obtained illegal campaign contributions from foreign interests.
