From CNBC

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on multiple criminal charges in federal court in Manhattan, a source familiar with the matter told CNBC on Wednesday night.

The indictment, which remains sealed for now, accuses Adams of criminal conduct related to contributions to the Democrat’s 2021 mayoral campaign, and other conduct going back as far as 2015, with at least one count involving a contribution by a foreign national.

A source said that the indictment mentions up to $20 million in donations that Adams’ campaign received as a result of matching fund program that the city’s Campaign Finance Program offers candidates for small-dollar donations made to them by residents of New York City. That program gives candidates funds up to eight times the amount of a small-dollar donation from an individual.

The source also said the indictment alleges that Adams, 64, traveled to Turkey to receive illegal contributions.

Adams denied all allegations in a late night press conference.
