all eyes are on new york city where mayor eric adams could speak at any moment. just after federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging him with bribery, wire fraud, and many other charges. federal prosecutors are scheduled to hold a news conference later this hour as well. we're going to, of course, bring you all these remarks when they occur, but you're seeing there that dais has been set up right outside where we're going to be hearing from the mayor of new york city any moment now. adams is the first mayor in modern new york city history to be charged while in office. the indictment was unsealed hours after the mayor's attorney said fbi agents went to the mayor's residence, gracy mansion, to take the mayor's phone. with us now, nbc news correspondent rahema ellis, katherine, chuck rosenberg, a former u.s. attorney and senior fbi official. he is an msnbc legal analyst. and frank figliuzzi, former fbi assistant director for counterintelligence and an msnbc national security analyst. we're expecting the mayor any minute now. when he comes to speak, we will

best for new york city? e you ready to step in if the mayor is out. >> what's best for new york city is we have tens of thousands of dedicated public sector workers who make sure everything keeps running. they are the ones making sure that the trash is going to get picked up, making sure that the calls are going to get answered. you know, as you ride out on autopilot you have to get a pilot in there and the mayor just really has to ask some tough questions to himself and i hope he does that very shortly. >> new york city public advocate, advocating for the public and public sector workers, great to see you. jumaane williams, thanks for your time. >>> still ahead this evening federal agents showed up at the new york city residence of mayor eric adams today after federal prosecutors indicted the mayor on corruption charges. why? i will ask duncan levin the former assistant district attorney in the eastern district of new york about mayor adams' ongoing drama coming up next. r ' ongoing drama coming up next it's

and new york city history in the making. have a good show. >>> you just heard the breaking news from alex wagner. mayor eric adams of new york city has been indicted on criminal charges. he is the first mayor in new york history to be indicted on federal criminal charges. joining us now is tom winter, nbc news investigative reporter who has been covering this investigation for the length of it. we don't know the specific charges as of now. what do we know? >> reporter: what we know is this investigation has been going on for nearly a year. when agents searched the brooklyn home of one of his top fundraisers. at the time all law enforcement would do is confirm they conducted a court authorized search, but what we subsequently learned and reported was the records were seeking information related to contributions and travel to turkey by people involved in the adams campaign. that is something that got people's attention. for the reporting indicated that there were a number of potential actions involving the turkish consulate and

of new york city. i mean, what is the bar like for something like that i'm going to put this real and scientifically for you if you're going to charge the sitting mayor of new york city, you better be damn sure that you have the evidence on him because if you don't it will be a disaster. >> know look, as john miller laid out, there were a lot of indicators, not so subtle indicators over the last several months, pointing in this direction, a series of subpoenas, search warrants, charges of other people around them there. but the big question that we now have an answer to is we're prosecutor is going to be able to link all that to the top guy, to the mayor. it does sometimes that you're investigating a case and you have a lot of smoke around an individual, but you can't necessarily tie the key player, the boss, the mayor, whatever it may be into that criminality. but we now know that the sdny does believe it can do that and ultimately prove it beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury. by the way, of

sitting mayor of new york city. as our highest elected official the mayor should set the standard for all of city government and exemplify the integrity, transparency and dedication to serving the public that all new yorkers deserve. instead, the indictment unsealed today alleges that mayor adams abused his power and position for nearly a decade as brooklyn borough president and as mayor. he enriched himself and his mayoral campaigns. as charged, he sought and received illegal campaign contributions, luxury travel, and other personal benefits from foreign nationals as well as individuals and businesses. he allegedly took steps to conceal those illegal contributions and personal benefits and involve city employees and campaign staff in that concealment. as the indictment explains, this kind of corruption has real costs to the city and public. as alleged, the mayor's 2021 campaign falsely certified compliance of campaign finance laws in order to conceal the illegal campaign contributions and as a result of those false

lisa, if you could for people outside of new york city or even in new york city, could you put into perspectivere of one indictment tonight. and so far, the new york times is reporting that only mayor eric adams is the subject of that indictment. but as you noted the last several months have been swirling with rumors of multiple investigations. and people in his closest circle that include edward caban, police commissioner, the school chancellor david banks who announced his intent to retire in december. it includes the deputy mayor who is also the chancellor's partner. and multiple other city hall aides, campaign aides, and people who are associated with those folks including brothers of the former police commissioner and of the school chancellor. there are multiple ongoing investigations. our colleague had a report laster night where he indicated there are five, six, or seven different investigations involving the mayor. that said, what we believe is the environment that will be unsealed tomorrow, concerns the first launched investigation. at least the one that was first made public. that is

attorney from there who brought this indictment against the mayor of new york city. we have much more after this break, stay with us news of the weekend as questions like, what does a comedy show doing on cnn that's too much but i want donald now, can you slice that well i got, news for you saturday at nine on cnn. see idp disrupts. >> the idp derails let's be honest. sachs but living with cdp doesn't have to. >> when you sign up at shining through cid p.com, you'll find inspiration and real patient stories helpful tips, reliable information, and more. >> cdp can be tough. >> but finding hope just got a little easier. >> sign up by shining through, cipa.com be heard, be hopeful the eu and the furniture business, things move fast. >> ziprecruiter helps us hire qualified candidates who keep up. we needed a project manager yesterday, we posted a job and ziprecruiter and had our guy on-site in five days he was qualified and everyone ziprecruiter finds the best candidates for all our jobs. >> they helped us build our dream team and he did it fast too fast for out of employ

and just because city like new york, a city like chicago.e the -- are the poster child and at the forefront of seeing the problem, this is an absolute national problem that is foisted upon cities like hours where people believe that they can come here, they are going to get a room at the rose felt hotel. they are going to get a phone and they all seem to have motorcycles. and they seem to be doing just fine. and this is a policy we don't -- we do not in the city of new york control the borders. all we can control is what's going to happen to people once they show up in our city. >> bret: let me ask one more thing, quickly, councilman borelli. "new york times" says there is a flurriy of inquiries about the mayor. remarkable avalanche of investigations and raids struck at the heart of the mayor's circle. no ordinary distraction. it comes as all of these things are happening. county mayor do his job in this current environment? >> it's going to be tough. in the past, these folks have been -- you know, investigated, have been sort of the second

thereby creating a political crisis in new york city. where if the mayor does not resign, the power to remove him from office belongs to the governor of new york. the calls for the mayor to resign began before his indictment. alexandria ocasio-cortez being the first member of congress to call for his resignation. doing that, the mayor has two of the most important constituents in the federal government. the democratic leader of the house of representatives. hakeem jeffries is a resident of new york city. a constituent of the mayor's. and the senate democratic majority leader chuck schumer, a resident of new york city. they will be under inordinant political pressure to declare themselves on the mayor's future. should he resign. should the governor remove him from office. these are political questions on top of this criminal investigation moving rapidly against the mayor, what can we expect procedurally tomorrow? >> well i think there is a bit of a question remaining. is it something where a number of things can happen. first off, there is

we don't know what's going on behind the scenes in new york city. there is an interesting political operation, those of us in new york for a long time there are typically other things at play. but this is a pretty detailed indictment. >> harris: involving quite a few people. we've seen those other investigations. is there one in particular that stood out to you? for me it would be the new york city police commissioner because of the crime, particularly random violent crime that the city is dealing with under pressure from those high numbers of illegal immigrants that have come in and perpetrated the crimes allegedly. >> our previous guest noted the amount of people resigning around mayor adams is a very bad sign typically where there is smoke there is fire. now it seems like those who didn't resign look like they will be indicted as well, that's what reporting suggests. so it seems to be that there are a lot of people implicated or had knowledge of what was happening. the indictment makes a strong argument that adams new exactly what was going on. it

in the commercial art world of new york city. and they become the first generation of what becomes known as the ashcan school. when they get to new york, they begin attracting more people, their little group of buddies. okay. and i want to point out that, like, this is really how they see themselves at hundred. they they don't see themselves as revolutionaries. they don't see themselves as an art school. they think they're trying to change art. it's just a bunch of guys who like, draw, who have day jobs at newspapers and magazines and in advertising, who get together at night to critique teller's artwork and to drink and to smoke and to hang out right there. they're informal in that way. one of the people they attract is a guy named george bellows, right? bellows does this illustration on the right, it shows up in a newspaper, actually, the philadelphia record, april 1915, and it's called of the ashcan. and so it's literally a depiction of two tramps, right? two men who don't have homes who don't have jobs, who bounce around about

as the case is ongoing, he also intends to continue to govern new york city. basically said that the work of running new york will continue. he has turned to alex spiro, an attorney that represented elon musk in litigation in recent months and years, in that process. we also expect the prosecutors in this case to speak imminently. and we will bring you that here on bloomberg television. but to recap, mayor eric adams will defend himself and he continues to speak in the face of those indictments on fraud and bribery charges. this is "bloomberg technology." ♪ safari? hot air balloon ride? swim with elephants? wait, can we afford a safari? great question. like everything, it takes a little planning. or, put the money towards a down-payment... ...on a ranch ...in montana ...with horses let's take a look at those scenarios. j.p. morgan wealth management has advisors in chase branches and tools, like wealth plan to keep you on track. when you're planning for it all... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management. personalized financial advice from ameriprise can do m

they won't look at the new york city mayor as much as they might try to take these people with the newe to do. those people have to continue to run their race. obviously, many of them have already called on eric adams to resign. that is certainly i think what he should do. there is more to come. that is just i think, that is clear. so, i am hopeful that it won't ultimately affect our ability to take back the house. which i still feel very good about. >> as much as it is a challenge for democrats, it is also an opportunity given how the republican party has responded to criminal indictments of its stars i guess you could say. the republican party has been brushed under the rug. or pledged feelty. i want to draw your attention to everybody who is watching to chuck schumer. no one is above the law. including the mayor of new york city. the legal process should now play out speedily and fairly. that's what you want to hear from a party right? >> over and over again, look at the republican party. the cult party of donald trump who you know is are, they have reveled in his outrageousness inc

he left new york city. e hated new york city to be honest with you he went to austin new england countryside became what was called a tramp he wanders the back roads ofskiy needed work. and then you finally landed a job at town in central connecticut middletown connecticut if anyon of you are from connecticut in a stone quarry. doing the most basic work a human being can do. breaking apart rocks in a stone quarry. at that very bottom of the industrial system and i am pretty sure that it was there in that stone quarry that he first encountered that's what wrong with putting it. he countered again a political philosophy known as anarchism. not just any form of in a car is and he did not come to the most radical form there was in the world individual and occurs them. it believes the entire industrial system the social system could be remade and a awaitwe give ordinary people lim freedom and equality. and he was enthralled. that set up ideas and we are talking a strange a set of politics as you can have in the u

and for the new york city governance needs to be fully staffed to serve the people of new york city and frankly under this constant stream of scandals i do not know if the city will be able to even for all these resignations and vacancies at this point. so it is a very unfortunate time. we do not want to see this happening in our city unfortunately it is and i think so we can continue to staff the administration of the city it would be best for mayor adams to step down. >> we are taking your calls, this is steve in massachusetts. >> good morning. i just wanted to say really think the doj, our country is turning into russia running around in their legalizing everything that's going on and they choose and they pick who they attack with pelosi's husband who just sold $1 million worth of stock the day before visa got into trouble. that seemed kind of odd. political prisoners which is going on in this country and were turning into a third world with the assassination attempt of donald trump, nothing to see there, nothing going on. the bidens, nothing really going on there. they pick and

in sections of new york city like jpmorgan's house as electric lights, not the poor sections of new york but huge sections that wouldn't be electrified. huge sections of the united states wouldn't be electrified until the 1940s. they didn't have plumbing. those are the outhouses. one person in front of the outhouse is outback. what that meant was by living in those conditions, really close to the wealthier sections, that apartment was 6 blocks from jpmorgan's. when you lived on the other side, you are running a lot of risk. 17.7 deaths per 1000. one the city moving on the other side of the class divide, 44.7. if you live in poverty live with the concept risk. if you don't have decent water supply or sanitation system, you get cholera. that is where you get pneumonia. to live on the wrong side of the class divide in the united states mint risking death. of course, families, working-class families weren't completely on their own. a series of strains on them. they have to reach out beyond their family units if at all possible. reach out to other institutions of the might help you out. the c

lisa if you could for people outside of new york city and even in new york city.into perspective the wide circling of indictment that surround the indictment of the mayor of our fair city. >> right now we only know of one indictment. and the new york times is only reporting that he is the only one indicted. there have been swirling reports of indictments. that includes schools chancellor david banks who announced yesterday his intent to retire in december. it includes deputy mayor wright who is also the chancellors partner and multiple other city hall aids, campaign aids, and people who are associated with those folks including brothers for example of the former police commissioner and of the school's chancellor. there are multiple ongoing investigations. our colleague at wnbc john dietz has a report where he indicated that there were at least 5, 6 or 7 different investigations involving the mayor. that having been said, what we understand at this point or believe at this point is that the indictment that will be unsealed tomorrow concerns the first launch investi

now let's study the new cities and we will see that many of the population living in the new cities ared in the big cities, their jobs are in the centers of the cities, in the centers of the provinces, and the most important thing is that we have to accept that satellite cities are all it can be said from the new cities and other satellite cities that these are sufficient infrastructures and services. there is culture in japan, so what is this? it means that a human being, regardless of human values, is exactly what japan is today, then we have its roots in this. the suggestion of 18 meters that you said we should find . regarding the per capita, i will present some per capita in the form of a scale, in fact, comparing it with different places. the average per capita residential infrastructure in our country was announced as 27 and a half meters. 27 and a half meters in america, 77 meters in canada, 72 meters, denmark , 54 meters, new york, 49 meters, italy, 42 meters , let's go to places like seoul, 30 meters, which means it is higher than us . each person was 44 meters, we were 27 met

we are now in the new cities and let's study and see that many of the populations living in the new cities are employed in the big cities. in fact, we have to accept that satellite cities are among the new cities it can be said that other satellite cities do not have enough infrastructure, infrastructure services, or superstructure services for the well-being of ordinary people, but in the metropolis of bigger cities , a dish can be easily provided. there is one more thing i would like to mention here that you want to hear mr. arami's speech, then he will be able to speak. thank you very much . it is in japan, so what is this? it means that a human being, regardless of human values, is exactly what japan is today next we have the roots. in this proposal of 18 meters , in fact, i will compare it with different places . find the average that you said. about the per capita , i mentioned how many per capita in the format of the per capita scale of residential infrastructure in our country , announcing 27 and a half meters. this is 27 meters. and a half in america , 77 meters, in canada, 72 met

i brought a case on behalf of new york city, new york state. this time on the progressive tax lot of pain. however, the city evidently, must die can. so i wanted to tell the same line as the state and the prior courts even further, it appeared to want the case to vanish so that it would not have to justify ignoring it. therefore, the city is lawyer trade. it is males with me for 2 years engaging in what i now would view as gas lighting that is open. i would get discouraged and go go away. there were no documents produced and no real investigation. i didn't the but i didn't know the city's help at the end of the 2 years, so on the let finally, let me go forward. the case again, the courts again dismissed the case. now, why do i persist after 20 years? 19 years and then one important point, very important point is none of the above. well, my claims were dismissed as they were later acting on down the interest of these jurisdictions. as noted above the states and cities claimed and never time bought this fraud. and they can take action at any time

the book is new york city. but what it's really about now is just manhattan and manhattan is from about 42nd street, where the new york public library is down to the tip. so if you imagine if you have francis downtown in the financial district and you walk up to the new public library, it's quite a it's still quite a big area, but everybody's tightly packed together just as there are now people each other. people don't write to each other because they bump into each other on the street. and this is the first issue that i sort of came up against this as i'm wanting to study the origins of the revolution and new york. but i don't have any documents. but when i'm going through the newspapers, i that there's this election and there's a lot of propagate what we would call propaganda that's published in the press and there's people announcing their candidacies and this is where the first characters really come into the story is that there's a family and faction in new york called the alliances and they're led by a per

>> is very difficult to break new york city. new york city government, with many heroes leading it, will continue to run and eric adams deserves his day in court. but these allegations are incredibly serious. and the facts behind them, are incredibly serious as well and he and his team quite obviously, have a tremendous amount of explaining to do, and i think we can all collectively say that that needs to happen as quickly as humanly possible, however quickly this game that's my case can get going because we have to get back to business in the city. >> max, charlie, thank you. as long as we are talking about great new yorkers, i want to say tonight, new york is so, there's so much traffic, there's a mess because the un general assembly, the new york city police department all over the city, i salute every one of those men and women out there, there are so many protesters and they have the right to be peacefully protesting in new york, but it's so difficult, it's so crowded and those police officers specifically one named jerry do

was on his business card he had easy access to some of the most important that would go through new york city in the 1870s, 1880s and nineties. and while former president grant was visiting new york city, kelly had the opportunity to sit and. grant would pose and he would give give you an excellent opportunity to ask. so that's why i call kelly the ultimate civil war buff, because he got to sit down with grant and sherman and sheridan and hancock. chamberlin were born in double date circles and any question he wanted. and then he would have the general sign, the portrait. and kelly kept notes, while he was doing these interviews. basically to protect his art from criticism if someone would come along and criticize a painting of grant at fort. saying that's not accurate. well, kelly, produce the notes and say, well, this is what general grant told me. and general grant signed. so that's why kelly, you know, the interviews while he sketched and, kept the notes to protect his art. also, matthew brady, the famous from the civil war. brady is probably most important photographer in u.s. history, t

these protests in new york city were organized as to make sure that they wanted to flood new york citya. but the white house is saying these protests were inappropriate, to say least. given the latest news out of the middle east. the crowds we saw in new york were estimated to be quite big between 5,000 and 7,000 people. spotted all throughout manhattan, including union square and fifth avenue. there are reports some protesters were told to cover their face to avoid surveillance. even take steps to avoid being tracked. at one point we did see some smoke bombs go off. over the holiday weekend, the white house weighed in writing: it is especially heinous to express support for hamas on this same day as the funeral for an innocent american hostage who they brutally murdered. this is a moment for all americans to come together and stand against anti-semitism and against the sickening hate and evil that hamas represents. on monday the president also meth with national security team. the meeting coming amid continuing efforts u.s., qatar and egypt to negotiate the release of all the remainin
