Summary

Federal prosecutors have identified “additional criminal conduct” involving New York Mayor Eric Adams, who faces five charges, including bribery and wire fraud, ahead of his April trial.

Prosecutors allege Adams and his allies may have influenced witnesses and oppose his request for more details about the charges, citing risks to their ongoing investigation.

Adams, the first sitting NYC mayor indicted in the modern era, denies wrongdoing and calls the probe politically motivated.

Prosecutors suggest further charges and defendants in the case are likely.
