Once the reported indictment, which was reported separately by the Associated Press and CBS, is released, he will be the first sitting “I have been facing these lies for months ... yet the city has continued to improve,” Adams said. “Make no mistake. You elected me to lead this city and lead it I will.”
The development regarding Adams comes less than a month after federal agents raided the homes of high-ranking officials within Adams’ administration. Agents seized devices from the home of the New York police department commissioner.. The outlet reported that City Hall officials were aware Wednesday morning that Adams would soon be indicted, sending staff into a panic throughout the day.
“There is simply zero chance that the wheels of government will move forward from this full steam ahead,” Stringer said. At the time, Adams insisted he followed the law and said he would be “shocked” if anyone on his campaign had acted illegally. “I cannot tell you how much I start the day with telling my team we’ve got to follow the law,” he told reporters at the time.
