New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal criminal charges.

Sources familiar with the matter told the New York Times on Wednesday night that Adams has been indicted following a federal corruption investigation, though the specific charges are sealed. This would make him the first mayor in the city’s history to be indicted while in office.

Investigations and accusations of corruption have plagued Adams since November 2023, when the FBI raided the homes of two of his associates. Numerous close associates have since been investigated, raided, and arrested, some as recently as this month, presenting a chaotic image of his administration.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) became the most prominent Democrat to call on Adams to resign ahead of the report. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) declined to do the same.

Adams’s phone and iPad were seized in November, one of the first indications of a major investigation. In July, the mayor was served two grand jury subpoenas. The past month has seen a slew of new revelations, raids, and resignations.
