Adams Faces New Criminal Conduct Allegations
Federal prosecutors allege the discovery of additional criminal conduct by New York Mayor Eric Adams, expanding upon the initial September indictment of five criminal counts including bribery and conspiracy. The prosecutors’ assertion, made in response to Adams’ request for more details on the charges, cites an ongoing investigation uncovering further involvement by additional individuals. Adams and his attorney, Alex Spiro, vehemently deny any wrongdoing, with Spiro criticizing the prosecution’s actions as a headline grab. The government’s refusal to provide more specifics is justified by concerns of witness tampering.
