On Sept. 26, a federal indictment charged Mayor Adams with accepting improper campaign contributions, WABC reported.

Investigators issued a search warrant at Gracie Mansion, some carrying bags. They spent at least an hour inside the mayor’s residence, officials said.

Prosecutors say the misconduct by Adams began in 2014.

Adams was served with a summons and they took his cell phone.

In a written statement, Mayor Adams said, "I always knew that If I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became. If I am charged, I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit."

Adams "solicited and demanded" bribes, which included free or heavily discounted travel from an unnamed Turkish official, claims the indictment filed by the US attorney's office in Manhattan.

With these charges, Adams becomes the first mayor in New York City history to be indicted while in office. If he were to step down, the city’s public advocate, Jumaane Williams, would replace him and then a special election would be scheduled.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also has the power to remove him from office, if needed. A spokesperson for Hochul told WABC the governor is aware of the “concerning news reports” and they are monitoring the situation, adding, “It would be premature to comment further until the matter is confirmed by law enforcement.”
