Eric Adams was indicted on federal corruption charges on Thursday, the first sitting mayor in New York's history to be brought up on federal charges. The indictment accused Adams of five counts of bribery, wire fraud, and solicitation of donations from foreign nationals.
I wish I could say I was surprised. But I saw this coming.
Back in 2021 at a mayoral debate, I said, "Eric, we all know you've been investigated for corruption everywhere you've gone, city state and federal. You've achieved the rare trifecta of corruption investigations. Is that really what we want in the next mayor? [If] you enter City Hall it's going to be exactly the same."
