Ten million dollars scammed from taxpayers with the campaign public financing matching funds he fraudulently used.Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on charges connected to a federal probe that has shaken his administration, sources told The Post.
The historic indictment is expected to be unsealed Thursday by US Attorney Damian Williams, according to the sources. The news was first reported by the New York Times.
Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.
Details about the exact accusations remained unclear, but are believed to be connected to an alleged kickback scheme involving the Turkish government illegally funneling money into his mayoral campaign, according to sources.
It’s also uncertain how the indictment is related to a sweeping set of Sept. 4 raids that targeted several high-profile Adams administration officials, which sent City Hall into a weeks-long tailspin as news reports emerged of investigations focused on alleged corruption by the mayor’s inner circle.
The indictment’s unveiling will come after federal prosecutors recently demanded City Hall cough up all communications between the Adams administration, Turkey and five other foreign countries amid the long-running probe.
Adams’ 2021 campaign had previously been served with subpoenas for information on its campaign donations — specifically those that had ties to Turkey, sources told The Post.
Sprawling record requests then came in a July batch of subpoenas seeking details on all interactions between admin officials and Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea and Uzbekistan, the sources added.
Adams, City Hall and his election committee were also hit with grand jury subpoenas that same month — with the feds obtaining text messages, documents and other communications and materials.
The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York had remained tight-lipped about the probe ever since it burst into view last November with a dramatic raid on top Adams fundraiser Brianna Suggs’ Brooklyn home.
The raid — which sought evidence of straw donor kickbacks by the Turkish government and the Williamsburg-based construction company KSK Construction Group into Adams’ mayoral campaign — prompted Hizzoner to scurry back from a much-publicized White House meeting on the migrant crisis.
The feds subsequently raided the homes of City Hall staffer Rana Abbasova and Cenk Ocal, a former Turkish Airlines executive who worked on Adams’ transition team.
A week later, Adams had his own phones and iPad seized by FBI agents on the streets of Manhattan.
Meanwhile, another aide, Winnie Greco, had her Bronx home raided by FBI agents in February, though it wasn’t clear at the time whether it was tied to the Turkey probe.
Hizzoner has long denied any wrongdoing.
“It takes a great deal of discipline to not say something when you know you’ve done nothing wrong,” Adams said in August when asked about the mayoral campaign investigation.
The indictment marks the first time a New York City mayor has faced charges in 170 years, according to historical research done by THE CITY.

Imagine that, a black democrat mayor of the city of N.Y. was given the middle finger by his democrat president, and now
Adams looks to be on the chopping block just like his former democrat governor of N.Y. Cuomo got ousted for criminal
charges.

I said from the start that this is a stinking pile of horseshit and it would seem to be case with the appeals court

A panel of judges voiced skepticism about the size and validity of the nearly half-billion-dollar judgment.

Another case against Trump is going down the crapper..
He has been under investigation for a year, dipshit.
lol, it’s the SDNY, they don’t mess around.
This woman is as sadly misinformed as yourself.
I did impersonate Trump. And every other idiot who talks about a "deep state" and sobs about how the world is so unfair to him.
The crimes cover a 10 year period from my understanding. The SDNY usually has a rock solid case before they indict.

Civilized people do not use that word. What do you call Black people? You're nothing more than a brainless, fake conservative, squawking parrot channeling your alt reich echo chambers. You're a moron and that's what you will always be.

And unlike the MAGAT party, the (D)s will find a way to get him out of office. Some of us still have ethics, even if particular politicians like this grifter do not.
