earlier this hour new york city mayor eric adams pleaded not guilty at his arraignment for corruption charges. miles miller joins us. he has covered new york city for years. miles: his quote was, "i am not guilty, your honor." adams in court recording -- according to our reporters -- his expression was very grave. he was taking in the moment, the severity of the charges. the judge read for four minutes some of the volume of charges. she said it involved a free driver and travel perks. scarlet: these charges date back to when he was president of the brooklyn borough. myles: this esteem, according to prosecutors, started back when he was brooklyn borough president. his attorney said today they want a speedy trial. we thought that was eric adams posturing. that would mean within 70 days. that is the speedy trial window. there is so much evidence it is unusual to see a speedy trial. scarlet: he has made clear he does not plan to resign. can anything forces removal? myles: the governor, as does the inability committee. the deputy mayor, the queens borough president and the comptroller, who can say he is not abl

john miller standby because we're getting breaking news every minute of this hour as we are now learning saying that the new york city mayor, eric adams has been indicted according to the new york times, we're going to have more for you. we're going to take a quick, quick break presidential debate. >> tuesday at nine with powerful, easy to use tools, powered e-trade makes complex trading easier. reacted fast moving markets with dynamic charting and futures ladder that lets you place, flatten or reverse orders. so you won't miss an opportunity. e-trade from morgan stanley when it comes to amgen life changing medical break first second counts. >> but without investment, those breakthroughs are often paused. cities seemed mostly connected. banking markets and services businesses deliver global financial solutions for client can keep investing in innovations for patients around the world without pause. >> for the love of moving our clients forward for the love of progress my moderate to severe crohn's symptoms kept me out of the picture with sky resy feel significant symptom relief at for weeks. many people were in remission at 12 w

there in southern manhattan now as john miller just said, it looks like there will probably be a court appearance tomorrow in federal court at that point, we end. eric adams will see the indictment, so then we'll know exactly what he's charged with. the other thing to watch for. and we remember this from a few weeks ago when sean combs was indicted in this same district, is will there be a bail argument? i do not think federal prosecutors will try to lock up eric adams. i think it's borderline impossible that they will ask that given that he is the sitting mayor. and even if he wasn't, but let's watch for that. let's see whether they agree to let eric got him is out on bail. i think it's likely he will be bailed, but then he's going to have to contend with this indictment either way. >> but elie, i mean, that in and of itself is remarkable that you are even saying that we'll see the mayor of new york city in a courtroom tomorrow as this indictment is being unsealed, which i should note, he gave a statement to the new york times tonight and said, and i'm quoting him now, i always knew that if i stood my ground for new yorkers, that i would be a targe
