Mayor ERIC ADAMS (64) has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges as part of a wide-ranging corruption investigation. Adams, who is the first mayor in New York City history to be indicted while in office, says:
"I always knew that If I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target - and a target I became. If I am charged, I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit."
