NYC Mayor Eric Adams indicted on 5 federal public corruption charges, including bribery and wire fraud

Image
    New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, according to a 57-page indictment unsealed Thursday morning. The indictment alleges illegal actions stretching back to 2014, from when he was Brooklyn Borough president. “For nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him,” the indictment reads. Specifically, Adams received luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and later in exchange pressured the NYC Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection, the indictment says. The mayor “engaged in a long-running conspiracy,” Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Thursday. “Mayor ...

  Patriots vs. 49ers game today: Start time, TV, live stream, schedule for NFL Week 4 Mark Giannotto USA TODAY 0:00 2:09 The  New England Patriots  and  San Francisco 49ers  are both proud NFL franchises. They've won more Super Bowls than anybody else over the past five decades.

The 49ers, coming off another Super Bowl loss to the  Kansas City Chiefs , were still supposed to be the NFC favorite this year. The Patriots, after parting ways with Bill Belichick, had a rookie head coach (Jerod Mayo), a rookie quarterback ( Drake Maye ), and low expectations. Both teams, however, enter Sunday's game with 1-2 records. San Francisco is dealing with injury issues on both sides of the ball, which helps explain consecutive road losses to the  Minnesota Vikings  and  Los Angeles Rams . Running back  Ch...

  Roob's Observations: Eagles embarrass themselves in Tampa vs. Bucs By  Reuben Frank   •   Published 42 mins ago   •   Updated 15 mins ago   NBC Universal, Inc. Ron Jaworski and Reuben Frank share their instant analysis following the Eagles’ 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 4. I looked down at my laptop midway through the second quarter and the Bucs had 255 yards and the Eagles had 0 yards. You really don’t have to be much of a football expert to understand this is not good. In fact, it’s impossibly, unbelievably, astonishingly bad. The Eagles didn’t just lose a football game Sunday in Tampa 33-16, they embarrassed themselves. They were so thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the football it looked they hadn’t practiced or prepared all week. And if that score looks remotely competitive, it was 21-0 a few plays into the second quarter and it was already over. Yeah, the Eagles were missing a bunch of really good players, but that’s no excuse for th...
