Published On Sep 27, 2024, 8:15 AM

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five counts, including fraud and bribery, related to soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations for several years. Despite the serious allegations, Adams plans to remain in office and fight the charges. The business community in New York is in a wait-and-see mode, evaluating the situation and expressing that they will allow the legal process to unfold. Some executives believe Adams could maintain his position if state leadership does not push him out, even as concerns about homelessness and crime persist.
