Eric Adams was indicted on charges he accepted about $100,000 worth of free or deeply discounted flights, hotel stays, meals and entertainment on international trips he mostly took before he was mayor
New York City Mayor Eric Adams speaks while surrounded by faith leaders and other supporters during a rally and prayer vigil on the steps of City Hall in New York, on Oct. 1.Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that they might bring additional charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and indict others in the corruption case against him.
Scotten said some of the evidence includes Turkish Airlines records that show Adams either didn’t pay for flights or that he paid a few hundreds dollars for an economy class ticket “to create the illusion that he was paying his way” when he was really receiving free upgrades worth several thousand dollars.
Adams’ lawyers have filed motions seeking to dismiss the bribery charge against him and seeking an inquiry into whether prosecutors improperly leaked information to reporters about the investigation. Adams has denied knowingly accepting any illegal campaign contributions. He also said there was nothing improper about the trips he took abroad or the perks he received, and that any help he gave to Turkish officials regarding the diplomatic building was just routine “constituent services.” He has said helping people navigate the city’s bureaucracy was part of his job.
