Feds charge NYC mayor with selling his influence to foreign nationals. He says he won't resign - eviltoast

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams vowed to stay in office Thursday after federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment accusing him of letting Turkish officials and businesspeople buy his influence with illegal campaign contributions and lavish overseas trips.

Adams, a Democrat, faces conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery charges in a five-count indictment outlining a decade-long trail of corruption that began when he served as an elected official in Brooklyn and continued through his mayoral administration.

    Adams has been a lot of fun to watch. It’ll be even more fun watching him go to jail. Nakedly corrupt ftw.
