New York Mayor Eric Adams is expected to face federal charges by prosecutors out of the Southern District of New York, with an indictment being sealed. The exact charges are unclear, but Adams has denied any wrongdoing and vowed to fight the charges. The Adams administration has already seen high-level resignations amid several federal probes, including inquiries into potential illegal campaign contributions and pressure on officials to approve a building housing the Turkish Consulate. The city government is facing a leadership crisis as multiple officials close to Adams have had their phones seized in connection to the investigations. Calls for Adams to resign have come from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and City Comptroller Brad Lander, citing the need for the city to have focused leadership. However, Adams has refused to resign, stating that any charges against him would be false. The situation leaves the city government in a state of uncertainty, with questions about who is in charge and what direction policies will take.
