A Manhattan grand jury has indicted New York Mayor Eric Adams on federal criminal charges, multiple sources familiar confirmed to Fox News. The details about the indictment remain under seal.

The FBI and Department of Justice are declining to comment on the matter, and it is unclear who Adams has retained as his personal attorney. Several people have already been raided in the orbit of the 63-year-old former NYPD captain.

Mayor Eric Adams made this statement "I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became," Adams said in a statement obtained by The Associated Press. "If I am charged, I am innocent, and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit."

Statements from the New York State lawmakers agree that this move is the best course of action for the city moving forward.

"The mayor and his administration appear to be riddled with corruption, and the public has lost all confidence in their ability to move the five boroughs forward. Mr. Adams should do what's best for this city and step aside so that a new election can be held. His situation is untenable," said New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar.

"Another NY Democrat clouded in scandal. Time and again, they have proved they only care about their personal power and scoring political points, not what’s best for New York’s taxpayers. It’s time for people to send a message that they aren’t going to take it anymore," said New York Congressman Nick Langworthy.

The FBI has reportedly been looking into whether Adams' 2021 mayoral campaign conspired with the Turkish government and other entities to raise funds.

Eric Adams is the first mayor to be indicted on federal charges.
