NYC Mayor Eric Adams says he doesn't plan to resign despite federal corruption case against him

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday that he's “not surprised” by the federal corruption charges he faces and that he doesn't plan to resign. “I ask New Yorkers to wait to hear our defense before making any judgments,” Adams told reporters after the indicment against him was made public. Adams was indicted on charges alleging that he took illegal campaign contributions and bribes from foreign nationals in exchange for favors that included helping Turkish officials get fire safety approvals for a new diplomatic building in the city.
