NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams vowed to stay in office Thursday after federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment accusing him of letting Turkish officials and businesspeople buy his influence with illegal campaign contributions and lavish overseas trips.

Adams, a Democrat, faces conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery charges in a five-count indictment outlining a decade-long trail of corruption that began when he served as an elected official in Brooklyn and continued through his mayoral administration.

    He’s just doing normal cop stuff. Now, let’s elect a prosecutor.

      If you’re against corruption I have a strategy you can use: vote for the viable candidate least likely to accept foreign money for influence.

        I’m way ahead of you. I don’t vote for politicians that accept corporate money, be it foreign or domestic.

          Ah, the “chuck it in a garbage bin” strategy. Very effective.

            That’s what we do with trash. But, some of the bits down at the bottom seem like they can be recycled.
