The New York Times, I'm Michael barbaro.
This is the daily.
Today we are announcing campaign finance bribery and conspiracy charges against Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City.
For the first time in New York history, federal prosecutors have indicted the city's sitting mayor.
The conduct alleging the indictment is a grave breach of the public's trust.
Public office is a privilege.
We allege that Mayor Adams abused that.
Privilege and broke the law, laying out what they described as a wide ranging corruption scheme in which the mayor accepted illegal campaign donations and luxury gifts in return for political favors.
These are bright red lines, and we allege that the mayor crossed them again and again for years.
Today, my colleague, city hall bureau chief Emma Fitzsimmons, on the rise and fall of Mayor Eric Adams.
It's Friday, September 27.
Well, Emma, thank you for coming in here.
