Federal prosecutors allege they have uncovered “additional criminal conduct” by New York Mayor Eric Adams ahead of his scheduled trial in April.
Adams, 64, was charged in September with five criminal counts, including bribery, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national.
In court documents filed Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said that “law enforcement has continued to identify additional individuals involved in Adams’s conduct, and to uncover additional criminal conduct by Adams,” as part of the ongoing investigation.
At a news conference Tuesday, Adams criticized the investigation.
