eric adams. eric adams knew about that. there's another allegation here of wire fraud and the allegation is in new york city has a matching funds program where if you're a candidate for office and you get certain donations you can then receive taxpayer money to match those donations and the allegation here is eric adams it took these these fraudulent donations and use them to get up to 10 million worth of taxpayer matching funds so that's another element of this case. and then finally, it is illegal for any american politician federal, it's a federal crime for an american candidate for office to receive or accept or solicit donations from any foreign, national or foreign interests. so that's an overview of what this indictment lays out what do you make? >> is there any legal significance to what prosecutors allege that he didn't just accept these illegal contributions, but he also sought them absolutely. >> one of the elements of the crime here is what we call solicitation. he asked for them, he

louisa adams. john's a remarkable woman, a european her husband was her father was an american merchant. but she was educated in britain boarding schools in france. the first time she set foot in the united states was when after after they were married. and first experience of america was rural and no offense, but it was like going to cape springs. you know, i i'm really, you know she worked in the belching and that in of the of uncle tom and and she was appalled. abigail was equally appalled with her the thoroughly european who sing who could play musical could talk. funny gracious they had a complex relationship but came reconciled to each other because louisa was suffered much during her life. she was pregnant from time they were married until she was 42 years old. and they. she bore three sons and one daughter who died a. terrible death at the age of when st petersburg. but she was a great complement to quincy adams, who could, as can tell from picture, not a of a taciturn man, a reserved man m

eric adams. this is a chart with all the undisclosed travel benefits that we uncovered during the investigation. we list it all out here. 2016, 2017, 2019. the destination. india all the way to ghana. the benefits, free upgrades, free tickets altogether, the hotel stays and the value. if you s -- sum up all the dollar amount you get to $100,000. as we alleged in thend, adams sometimes created fake paper trails to cover up the benefits he received. let me give you one example. adams wrote emails to his staff suggesting he paid for his 2017 business class flights on the turkish airlines when we alleged she did not. those flights were worth a lot of money. one ticket alone cost more than $10,000. adams road and email to a staff member and told the staff member he had left cash in her desk drawer and she should send the money to the turkish airline to pay for a trip he had already taken. that is a cover up. not just because adams received benefits for free. that does not mean there were no strings at

and then it says adams directed the adams staffer pursue the promoters illegal scheme. pursue the promoters illegal scheme is interesting here because i'm curious to see how much of the straw donor money actually made it into the campaign account. that's crucial because the mayor is running for reelection. he's fund-raising now. his team is told is the very close to finishing their fundraising for his reelection campaign. but his odd and analysis by the cities campaign-finance more which ends up this matching matching funds and oversees all process is not done. how much money got to the mayors campaign? the campaign-finance board is going to end up going back to the mayors campaign saying you're going to have to pay us all back and it could end up penalizing him if he decides to pursue reelection for suture campaign account and his ability to get matching funds in the future. >> a lot of reaction is now at city hall so i want to go to kelly who has been chasing down some the people she is seen coming out of city hall. i know you tried to ask the links but whether he's w

eric adams. this is not a black thing. your policies are anti-black. you're a disgrace for all black people in this city. the things that you have done are unconscionable. our children are harassed by police. this is ridiculous. this is ridiculous. you can shush me all you want, but the people are with us. this is not a black thing. this is a justice thing. >> first of all, i want to thank you for being here this morning, and i want to thank the supporters of all ethnic groups that i hear, particularly the men and women of the clergy that's here that have joined me here today. and we are not surprised. we expected this. this is not surprising to us at all. the actions that have unfolded over the last ten months, the leaks, the commentary, the demonizing, this did not surprise us that we reached this day. and i asked new yorkers to wait to hear our defense before making any judgments. in about 30 minutes, you're going hear a story of the case that is in front of us. the story will come from the fe

and what was john adams doing during this period? john adams at the white house. he did meet privately with jefferson. he assured jefferson that he believed he should be the next president, that jefferson was clearly the people's choice. other than that he stayed out of it. he believed the president had no role in this constitutional process. he was right about that. he told federalists he would not intervene. he would not support some of their more extreme plans. but he did definitely keep a close eye and was waiting for news of any resolution. at what point was thomas jefferson declared, president of the united states. and when he take office. thomas jefferson was declared the third president of the united states, the 36th ballot, which took several days. they had they at some point have to stop and take some breaks, eat and to sleep and to try and reconvene and figure out how they were going to resolve this conundrum. he then took office on march 4th, 1801, which was about two weeks after the final had been made. and in those two weeks, he had to figure out how

>> that is certainly the card adams is playing. he did the video saying they're entirely false based on lines. i always knew if i stood my ground for all of you i would become a target. he is trying to portray himself as a modern day donald trump being targeted for politics. he is less donald trump and more bob menendez. these charges are bribery, taking money from foreign sources. that is more bob menendez territory than it is donald trump territory. it is fascinating to see a democrat -- the only thing he hasn't said yet is witch hunt. >> harris: he is formerly a republican for quite a few years and 22 years on the new york city police department. he is a veteran former republican, a veteran former cop. he has a lot of things going on in the mix where politics might be in the mix for democrats. i said mix twice. we don't know. i can tell you this. we know he talks a lot about the border christ, that formed underneath biden and kamala harris and how much it has pinched every resource in his city of new york. >> very true. he was e

for now mayor adams says he's not going anywhere. it may not be up to eric adams.nder new york city law the mayor can be removed by the governor if charged with a crime or the city council can form something called an inability committee to essentially impeach the mayor and take him out of office. now, if adams does resign or is removed the person who would automatically become a mayor of america's largest city is new york city public advocate jumaane williams and he joins me now. mr. williams, thanks for being here on a very, very big news night. >> thank you for having me and also hoping to introduce a whole host of people to what a public advocate is. >> this is the time to talk about public advocacy if there was ever a time. first of all, in the last hour the governor of new york, governor kathy hochul has released a statement and i'd love to get your thoughts on it. it reads in part, while i review my options and obligations as the governor of new york i expect the mayor to take the next few days to review the situation and find an appropriate path forward to

eric adams.ravel benefits that we uncovered during the investigation. we listed those out here. you can see the year, 2016-2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021. the destination, india all the way to ghana, the benefits: the free upgrades and free tickets altogether, the hotel says, and the value. if you sum up all of the dollar amount here, you get to over $100,000. as i said before, every single trip we list here was undisclosed. as we allege in the indictment, in addition to not disclosing these benefits, adams sometimes created fake paper trails to try to cover up the travel benefits he solicited and received. let me give you an example. adams wrote e—mails to his staff suggesting he paid his staff suggesting he paid his 2017 business class flights on the turkish airline when, we allege, he did not. those flights were worth a lot of money. on deck and loan cost over $10,000. the month after taking on the flight he wrote an e—mail to a staff member, telling them he left cash in her desk drawer and that s

ed: new york mayor eric adams is speaking. >> this is a you thing, eric adams. this is a you thing. you are a disgrace to our like neighborhood and the city. the things that you have done are unconscionable. our streets are dirty. our children are harassed by police. this is ridiculous. this is ridiculous. the people are with us. this is not a bad day. this is a justice day. mayor adams: i want to thank you for being here. and i want to thank the supporters of all ethnic groups that i here, particularly the men and women of the clergy that will join me here today. we are not surprised. we expected this. this is not surprising to us at all. what has unfolded over the last 10 months -- the commentary, the demonizing -- this did not surprise us that we reached this day. wait to hear our defense before making adjustments. in about 30 minutes, we are going to hear a story of the case that -- in about 30 minutes, we are going to hear a story of the case that is in front of us. this story will come from the federal prosecutors. i asked to wait and hear our side to this narrative. from here

adams allegedly responded i know. the indictment alleges he pressured the new york city fire department commissioner and it turns out the building had over 60 fire safety defects and could not legally be allowed to open. but mayor adams allegedly kept pushing and the building opened anyway. he denies all of this. he is refuseing to step down and says he will fight these charges but the calls for his resignation are growing. if he does ultimately resign or is removed from office, the person who would take over as acting mayor would be the new york city public advocate jomani williams. he joins me here live coming up next. p next. uv for you... “city shopping spree” you. “weekend getaway" you. “outdoor adventures" you. stylish. powerful. sophisticated. because when you're in a mercedes, you'd expect nothing less. mercedes-benz suvs, featuring the gle plug-in hybrid and the all new glc plug-in hybrid. visit mbusa.com for special offers on select suv models. craig here pays too much for verizon wireless. so he sublet half

i do have a comment on adams and the immigration. there is definitely an anti-immigration vibe in new york, which i've never seen before. you know, what's going on. it actually worked politically. what happened to adams is the case of a couple of things being true. he's definitely sleazy, for sure. that's no doubt about that, but he is also most likely getting payback for speaking out about the bussing of the immigrants. i used go to the roosevelt hotel in midtown. trump actually commented -- and i am an independent. there is no way i'm voting democrat or republican. that hotel, which is ironically owned by the pakistani airline, which is a government-owned airline, has been turned into a shelter. which is fine. i'm all for sheltering people who are refugees from bad places. but the country is a mess and the people -- the governor of texas shipping immigrants up to the northeast. i remember when i did live in arizona for 13 years, people in the northeast really didn't care. that border has been open for 400 years. the southern border

adams spent part of the day yesterday at a u.n. reception hosted by president biden, prompting questions about whether the president and the embattled mayor have spoken. >> and adams was also at a reception last night with the president at the met. did they talk? i can confirm to you that the president did not see the mayor and they did not speak. >> the mayor's team pushing back every step of the way. adams defense attorney, alex spiro denying the charges. >> there's no corruption. this is not a real case. we're going to see everybody in court, hopefully tomorrow, if not monday. and i have nothing further. >> and i look forward to defending myself and defending the people of this city. >> adams will be arraigned tomorrow at noon friday. >> as mayor adams arraignment on the five counts in this indictment, and it's going to be a very unique situation because we've seen 110 men in the history of new york be mayors. but this will be the first time that a sitting mayor is indicted on federal charges. >> our thanks to erin when we come

called adams five times even though the agents had not given the adams fund-raiser any information about the purpose of their visit." and then at a later date, the fbi, as we've reported, went to eric adams, took his cell phones, but he was not carrying his personal cell phone at the time. they issued a subpoena for it. adams turns over his personal cell phone. they says that he changed his password in the intervening time and then told the fbi that he couldn't remember the password to be able to unlock the phone. so, this is the type of specific conduct that lisa was alluding to before and the type of thing that i think is going to raise some eyebrows, why a former police captain of the new york city police department was changing passwords and making phone calls and turning around trips and why he was so concerned about this. they also say that that campaign fund-raiser refused to speak with -- actually, did speak to fbi agents, agreed to talk with them about many subjects but "refused to say who paid for her 2021 travel to turkey." >> everybody, stay with us. i want to remind our view

federal agents spend more than three hours inside adams's residents this morning only adams was named in the indictment. but since news of the investigations and impending charges broke into the open several officials have tender their resignations, leaving critical agencies without steady leaders. >> from here, my attorneys would take care of the case so i can take care of the city he has a taking a first step to address that exact concern, jake, whether or not he's going to be able to run the city just a few minutes ago, he sent an email two city workers telling them that he is innocent and that he wants them to focus on the job of running the city. >> that that's what he's going to be doing in the next several weeks. we also heard from his lawyer outside of gracie mansion here just a short time ago, alex spiro was standing with the mayor who remain silent while he was standing next to him. spiro said that some of these airline upgrades and these travel tickets were simply airline upgrades, something that all vips get very often. another important detail in all of this, jake, if he

eric adams is staying in office, will? eric adams is staying in office. he _ will?taying in office, he does not want - will? eric adams is staying in office, he does not want to i office, he does not want to leave. the new york governor does have the power to remove him, but she said reviewing the indictment and they will see where to go from there. at leading democrats are divided. some for them calling for them to resign, others saying that he is allowed to have a presumption of innocence and should be allowed to go through the legal process. that should be allowed to go through the legal process.— the legal process. that is the bbc's correspondent - the legal process. that is the| bbc's correspondent reporting bbc�*s correspondent reporting on the very latest from new york i will be back in a few minutes' time. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there, good evening. well, we've seen a lot more wet weather around again today. in fact, some spots, particularly for central areas of england, have already seen more than three times the average september rainfall. th

yes, eric adams has “ust down as well. yes, eric adams has just had — down as well.his first _ down as well. yes, eric adams hasjust had his first public- has just had his first public appearance since the indictment has been unsealed. an indictment, lengthy 157 pages, that charges him with bribery and fraud. before i get into what he said at that appearance, just to walk you through some of these charges. essentially, the five count indictment accuses eric adams of accepting concealed illegal contributions from foreign business people, and at least one turkish official, for at least a decade. they say that when he ran for mayor, he then applied for matching new york city public funds that prosecutors alleged amounted to him receiving his campaign $10 million by fraudulent means. they say, any kind of quit by pro situation, the turkish official tried to cash in on his influence with eric adams, having him approve a consulate building for the turkish government, a high rise building, despite safety concerns. the accuses eric adams of doing so and saying that a fire de

the turkish official sent word to adams that it was: his turn to adams that it was: his turn to support turkey. we allege that adams delivered. he pressured the fire department to open, allegedly. they were convinced that they would lose their job convinced that they would lose theirjob if they didn't back down, so they did. they got it out of the way and left the building open. the turkey official, he wanted, and as we explained in the indictment, four days after adams held up his end of the bargain, he went right back to soliciting more travel benefits from the turkish airline. i want to three things crystal clear. firstly, the conduct alleged in the indictment, the foreign money, the corporate money, the bribery, the years of concealment, is a grave breach of public trust. public office is a privilege, and we allege that eric adams broke the law and abuse that privilege. the law is designed to ensure officials like him serve the people and not the highest bidder, not a foreign bidder, and certainly not a foreign power. these are bright red lines, and we allege the a cross them again

as we allege, adams continued to pursue foreign money in secret well into 2021.dn't stop with his first caai

what's up, adam? adam: hey, guys. to whisper this part, alabama's 16 point favors because on -- >> wisconsin! adam: i love the energy at these college campuses. did you make this sign? >> absolutely. [laughter] adam: you're a liar. i know you didn't make that sign. that's called plagiarism. don't be doing that. and you were telling me your grandma's watching, right in. >> yeah, yeah. hi, grandma. adam: i love that. everybody wave. show your signs. [cheers and applause] >> [inaudible] >> my grandpa should be watching. grandpa, i hope you're watching. adam: hi, grandpa. this one blew my mind. i thought i found a genius, you're a freshman. >> yeah. adam: but not in college. >> no. adam: i love your sign, breaking bama. what's your call for the game today? >> wisconsin 42, bama, 0. adam: that is a bold prediction. we'll see how that goes. you're not geniuses, but you're just like the rest of us, and that's a great score. say hi to grandpa. >> hey, grandpa. adam: there you go. guys, back to you. pete: adam just called that

now this >> eric adams is the first mayor to be indicted while in office.e's being targeted for criticizing biden as the migrant surge and that's his defense and the administration is parollized and step back a moment. new york is not alone. may be the poster child of big city crisis, but others have the same symptoms. in los angeles, homelessness, crime, bad schools and in chicago, murder, mayhem, terrible schools. san francisco, public drug taking, homelessness, and retail exodus. all the symptoms have one cause: left wing policies imposed by entrenched democratic administrations and chicago has not had a republican mayor since 1931. san francisco has not had a single elected republican official since 2012. los angeles has not had a republican mayor this century. in recent years they've consistently moved further left. stuart: kenneling i did, are these big cities in there's no sign of decline at all. >> i hope we won't get to that point. it feels that way and as i kid i grew up in portland, oregon, i see what downtown portland has become and i don't want

new york city's mayor, eric adams.a lot of things, from clubbing downtown, to clubbing in midtown to clubbing during work hours! he's having the best time and the party is never going to end -- >> breaking overnight, indicted! new york mayor eric adams facing criminal charges. an historic case. >> for the first time, a sitting mayor is facing criminal charges, indicted by the u.s. on a number of charges here in new york. >> desi: can someone check if there's bottle service at rikers? so yes, this is a historic and sad day for new york city. which is why the subway masturbators were flying their sweatpants at half-mast this morning. now to be fair, adams is, of course, innocent until proven guilty. although it would be a lot easier to believe he wasn't doing crimes if he didn't dress like a gangster from "guys & dolls." but the question is, what exactly is eric adams accused of? let's find out in our new segment: "suspects and the city." ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ i couldn't help but wonder... how could the mayor be

good evening, adam. >> adam: good evening there, bret. still a powerful storm that has a little bit of room to grow little stronger. looking at category 3 strength it is on the high end of a category 3 storm 2 still could reach category 4 levels but in general category 3s are devastating storms. catastrophic once you get to cat 4. we are right there on that border wall. this is going to be a powerful storm impacting a lot of people. this there is the center of circulation. closest it has been to the florida coast so far. ultimately track north and make landfall there along the florida panhandle. but it is a massive storm as well. so even if you are further away from that center of circulation. you're going to be feeling it. we have seen plenty of these, that little red box that, is a tornado that has spun up currently in south carolina. obviously very far away from the center of this storm. that is something that is going to continue here for the next several hours anyways as you are looking at a tornado watch in place across places of fl

people say the charges are week but we always see the opponents of adams want adams to go.onsidering mr. williams's issues, calls for adams to retreat a little bit. this is, when people vote for a public community advocate, it would be good for him. i don't think a lot of people realize he would be next in that seat. this is, always dysfunctional. we are seeing it for what it is. stuart: listen to what one cnn panel said about trump and harris's economic policies. >> a similar message which is investing in manufacturing and industrial policy. bolstering manufacturing and american jobs. what harris is saying, we want to do this through tax credits. the same goal -- >> it is in fact correct to. harris is the republican in the scenario and donald trump is the liberal in terms of the nature of the policies. stuart: where did that come from? >> if she things kamala harris is going to win, it was done. but see, might have been produced in the white house. this is what americans, you are not getting clear in formation. you can make arguments about one idea being better than anothe

adam. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> all right, i always win. >> all right, i always win. >> what should we look at? the telegraph then with the tory mps? >> yes. so this is from the daily telegraph. this is the secrets of how five tory mps were felled. and this is from the tell all memoir from 1922. chiefs lifted lids on backstabbing at the heart of westminster. so, yeah, this is the former chairman of the 1922 committee has revealed backroom tensions and deals behind the most turbulent decade in conservative party history. for the first time. so this is basically just a memoir, sort of talking about how, like all was not well during the conservative government when they were in power. basically a lot of everything that might be seen on the surface, everyone is united, but obviously, well, where did you see when this stuff went in the 14 years in the photos? josh, when they were laughing and they were smiling at each other, they were going, oh, one big happy family. turns out it was a it was a lot like schoo
