Rejects accusations

New York Mayor Eric Adams is to stand trial in April on charges including bribery and fraud. A judge in the metropolis of millions initially set the start of the trial for April 21, 2025.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The defense had argued for an earlier date because Adams' potential re-election campaign would have to start in spring 2025. However, an earlier start to the trial was not logistically possible, the judge said.
Accusations of bribery and fraud
Adams is accused of bribery, fraud and the illegal solicitation and acceptance of foreign campaign contributions, among other things. According to the public prosecutor's office, the allegations date back to at least 2014, when Adams was still borough president of Brooklyn.
The ex-police officer, who has been mayor of New York since 2022, rejects the allegations and all calls for his resignation.
This is the first federal felony charge against a sitting New York mayor in the modern history of the metropolis of millions.
