. >> para ahi lo pueden ver, cabe resaltar que esta manana el fbi llevo a cabo un registro de graciesidencia de adams, y tambien confiscaron su telefono. >> ahora la pregunta es, ¿que dice aram sobre todo esto? >> bueno, el basicamente comenzo a defenderse desde anoche su oficina anticipaba la revelacion de los cargos, pero hoy, luego de que se hicieran publicos o oficialmente, hablo tambien desde su residencia en gracie mansion. >> vamos a ver. >> no he visto ningun juzgada. >> y veo y espero defender a mi mi mismo y defender a mi de esta defender a la gente de esta ciudad, como lo he hecho durante todo mi carrera adams y como pasa en estos casos, no hay presion de que se va a dejar el cargo si no lo va a dejar, ha dicho algo al respecto de esto? >> pues justamente al hablar frente al publico en gracie mansion, el basicamente dijo que sus abogados van a llevar el caso en su contra y que el va a seguir enfocandose en la labor, en su trabajo como alcalde. >> basicamente, es decir, el no tiene planes de renunciar, aunque como bien dicen, si hay mucha critica, hay mucha pe personas, inc

we saw a federal authorities agents going into gracie mansion. this warning, you know, they are not going to do that unless they feel like they have a very serious case to bring against the mayor. >> what what what's your take on all of this? >> what do you think? >> yeah, jim. so i just opened up the indictment which has just been unsealed moments ago as a reporter said, it's 50 some pages. this clearly isn't investigation that's been building for at least a year now, if you go back to november of 2023, that's when federal agents first started executing search warrants, seizing phones and laptops from eric adams himself and from people around him. they've continued to do that today as they've seized one of his cell phones, looking at the indictment, the first thing that i see that jumps out at me is the gist of the beginning of the indictment, at least, is that eric adams was receiving money from foreign donors which are not allowed to do campaign contributions through straw donor meaning through people who weren't the actual what donors, which

i went ahead to uptown to gracie mansion because federal agents searched gracie mansion early this morning, according to the mayors lawyer people going in and out. he said the agents took the mayors them. you saw adams targets press conference turkey was not arrested. the gist is been a very steady stream of activity outside of gracie mansion since all this went down. bernadette joining as. she's been monitoring the situation in addition to all the be against lots of cars in out a lot of people in that out today. >> that's right. heavy police presence. a wrapped up a press conference before the u.s. attorney's office announced officially the charges, the five count indictment against the mayor. he was surrounded by supporters, clergy members and head of the naacp, but the mayor appeared to continue this narrative on his own part saying he's been targeted, it's not fair, and that he did admit he has read a portion of the indictment but he continued to deny wrongdoing. i want to quickly read what he e said picky city will continue to do the job or a .3 million new yorkers, job he was elected

that gracy mansion is on loan to him. every mayor who's elected in new york city lives in gracy mansion. so, it was extraordinary. it's shocking that a search warrant would be executed on gracy mansion. so, yes, it is a very painful day for the city of new york. and it also says in the indictment, on that same page, that at all times relevant to this indictment, adams was an elected official, required to file annual disclosure forms. so, this indictment covers his periods when he was elected as brooklyn borough president through mayor, and it's interesting, because the search warrant that was executed for his phones last year, when the fbi greeted him, the conduct allegedly continued after that. so, when he says, we've been aware of this, well, if you're aware of that, then you would think the alleged criminal conduct would stop, but apparently, according to this indictment, would stop, and i see the mayor is surrounded by many pillars of the community, the black community, united states attorney in this case, southern di

57-page indictment unsealed today, just hours after a predawn search of his official residence at gracie mansion. >> the conduct alleged in the indictment, the foreign money, the corporate money, the bribery, the years of concealment is a grave breach of the public's trust. >> reporter: adams accused in the indictment of accepting free or deeply discounted trips to china, sri lanka, and india, luxury hotel stays and more to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. bribes prosecutors say adams illegally accepted from wealthy foreigners and at least one turkish government official, all in exchange for political favors. >> year after year, he kept the public in the dark. he told the public he received no gifts, even though he was secretly being showered with them. >> reporter: among the allegations of favoritism, in 2021, adams was informed it was, quote, his turn to help turkey. so he pressured the city's fire commissioner to green light approval of this building, despite serious safety concerns from the city, all because turkey wanted it opened in time for that year's united nations gene

the fbi was at gracie mansion to serve the mayor with a summons. it was a summons for him to appear in court sometime next week, but also we're learning through his attorney that they took his phone again they took another one of his phones. remember what led up to all of this this indictment in this investigation? it was a year ago, almost a year ago that the fbi stopped the mayor as he was leaving an event here in manhattan presented him with a search warrant and took phones from him. and yet again, we're learning that this morning they did that again, certainly members of his legal team are really upset about how law enforcement, how the fbi, and how the u.s. attorney have been treating the mayor, how they've been handling this. but it seems as though they're trying to send a message sit here to the mayor and the people around the mayor that their investigation is very much still ongoing. we don't know what the charges are for the mayor in this indictment. he's been under investigation for his business dealings perhaps or some kind of dealings w

. >> those were protests outside of gracie mansion today calling on new york city mayor eric adams toesign after he was indicted on five federal corruption charges. for now mayor adams says he's not going anywhere. it may not be up to eric adams. under 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 ob

federal agents arrived at gracie mansion, the home of new york city's mayor, eric adams, early this morning. the indictment alleges the mayor committed bribery wire fraud and conspiracy. it also accuses mayor adams of accepting illegal foreign campaign contributions. this comes after a corruption investigation that spans ten years. public office is a privilege. we allege that mayor adams abused that privilege and broke the law. laws that are designed to ensure that officials like him serve the people, not the highest bidder, not a foreign bidder, and certainly not a foreign power. while there are growing calls for the mayor to resign, he insists he will stay on the job. new york's governor has the power to remove him from his position, but she says it's too early to make that decision. today, two world leaders are in the u.s. seeking support for their nations at war. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy was on capitol hill speaking with lawmakers and at the white house with president biden, who announced a new security package for ukraine. he also met with vice president harris, who refe

the fbi searched gracie mansion earlier this morning. mayor adams believes it's all a political.> it is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes. if so, these charges will be entirely false based on lies. but they would not be surprising. i always knew that if i stood my ground for all of you, that i would be a target. stuart: the administration is paralyzed, the city is in e crisisment this is a breaking story, and we'll follow it throughout the show. we'll monitor and bring you the latest headlines as they come in. >>> here's something -- i call this a contradiction. kamala harris says the failed policies of the past that were hers aren't working. is that an admission? if watch. >> i have pledged that building a strong middle class will be a e defining goal of my if presidency. we just need to move past the failed policies that we have proven if don't work. if. stuart: wait a minute, whose failed policies? she's the one who's been in office for the past three and a half years. if are those the policies that failed? yeah, we've got to get beyond

and the fact they raided gracie mansion indicates that they have more investigations ongoing.judge there is more evidence they need. they had all the evidence we needed for this turkey indictment because they brought it already. there is more here and i think we will see a superseding indictment. >> wow. what do we have in terms of potentially criminal behavior? >> it is bungling. if it weren't so serious, it would be comical. you have for example, city hall aide, adams staffer meeting with the fbi voluntarily. she excuses herself to go to the bathroom and deletes the encrypted messaging app. they know when it was deleted. >> you can't make it up. >> it is so bungling. even just mayor adams who was a former police officer and who should know better than talking to the fbi without a lawyer present when we all know the story of what he has his phones taken away by the fbiment he didn't have his personal cell phone on him. the fbi went back the next day to get his personal cell phone. and the minute i heard about this investigation i turned my password from a four digit password
