Eric Adams has turned himself in…
According to a New York Post report, New York City Mayor Eric Adams surrendered to authorities Friday morning after a bombshell indictment this week accused the Big Apple mayor of corruption.
He is expected to plead not guilty.
From The New York Post:
A stony-faced Adams gave a thumbs-up but didn’t speak as he emerged from his motorcade and headed into the courthouse just before 9 a.m.
As is the case with any defendant, Adams was being fingerprinted and interviewed by court officials ahead of the hearing.
He will also have his mugshot taken prior to the arraignment.
The historic five-count indictment unsealed Thursday accused the under-fire Democrat of taking a slew of improper gifts from Turkish officials and businesspeople — including $123,000 in free hotel stays and free, or deeply discounted, flights.
