New York Mayor Eric Adams may be charged with further counts in his corruption case, prosecutors said, adding it was “quite likely” other defendants will be named.
The US told a federal judge of those prospects Wednesday morning as Adams appeared in a Manhattan courtroom for the second time in a week. The government said further counts for the mayor were “possible” and that its case would include “multiple witnesses.”
