U.S. prosecutors have charged New York City Mayor Eric Adams with bribery, fraud, and conspiracy related to a scheme involving Turkish officials. The indictment alleges that Adams accepted over $100,000 in illegal gifts, including luxury travel, from Turkish nationals in exchange for political favors. Among the accusations are accepting foreign campaign donations and using a false paper trail to qualify for public financing. Adams denies wrongdoing and plans to fight the charges. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
