New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal charges. NBC News' Tom Winter and former Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Catherine Christian join José Díaz-Balart to discuss.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has a catchphrase of sorts he likes to bandy about when describing his path to Gracie Mansion: “Dyslexic, arrested, rejected—now I’m elected!” As of Thursday morning, the former police captain turned leader of America’s largest city can add another word to his jingle: “Indicted.” The announcement of federal charges against Adams is not a truly stunning turn of events, not when the storm clouds have been gathering over his administration for months.
Adams’ backstory as someone who overcame run-ins with the law to rise in the NYPD fueled his campaign for City Hall, even as some of his opponents warned that he was a magnet for corruption. Many of the things Adams was alleged to have received stand out in how petty they seem, including free upgrades on Turkish Airlines and luxury hotel stays in exchange for helping clear the way for the construction of a Turkish consulate in the city.
