The election is just weeks away. Americans are being thrown for a loop.
As this top Democrat is to be arrested on eye-watering federal crimes charges.
Federal agents searched the residence of New York City Mayor Eric Adams at Gracie Mansion on Thursday morning following his indictment on multiple criminal charges in federal court. The indictment, which is still sealed at the time of writing, accuses Adams of criminal activities tied to contributions to his 2021 mayoral campaign, as well as conduct dating back to his tenure as Brooklyn borough president in 2015, according to a source familiar with the case.
The allegations in the indictment center largely around Adams’ involvement with the Turkish community and businessmen, who purportedly influenced the mayor. The charges outlined include conspiracy to commit bribery, wire fraud, and receiving contributions from a foreign national.
A source, speaking anonymously due to the ongoing nature of the case, mentioned that the indictment references up to $20 million in donations that Adams’ campaign reportedly received through the city’s Campaign Finance Program. This initiative allows candidates to receive matching funds up to eight times the amount of a small-dollar donation from New York City residents. The source also revealed that Adams, a 64-year-old former NYPD captain, allegedly traveled to Turkey to obtain illegal contributions.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, along with a top FBI official involved in the investigation, held a press conference at 11:30 a.m. ET Thursday to “announce significant public corruption charges,” according to Williams’ office.
Adams is the first official within his administration to face charges in connection with several ongoing investigations, some of which have also involved the NYPD and the city’s top education official.
In response to the search, Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro, issued a statement, saying, “Federal agents appeared this morning at Gracie Mansion in an effort to create a spectacle (again) and take Mayor Adams’ phone (again).”
It was already known that the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office had been investigating Adams over suspicions of collaborating with the Turkish government to funnel illegal donations into his campaign. Earlier reports indicated that grand jury subpoenas were issued to City Hall, Adams, and his campaign in July, requesting information about donations linked to several other countries, including Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea, and Uzbekistan.
Eric Adams Accuses Biden DOJ of Targeting Him For Speaking Out On Illegal Immigration Crisis
On Wednesday night, following news of the indictment, Adams made a defiant statement.
“It is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes,” Adams said in a video address. “If so, these charges would be entirely false, based on lies.”
He continued, “But they would not be surprising. I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you, I would be a target — and a target I became,” Adams has said. “If I am charged, I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit,” Adams declared.
Conservative Americans are concerned that this is an example of the Democrats weaponizing the federal justice system against anyone who dares to step out of line with the larger Democrat Party machine. That’s what Eric Adams has done with his criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s mishandling of illegal immigration and how it’s impacted the City of New York.
“Despite our pleas, when the federal government did nothing as its broken immigration policies overloaded our shelter system with no relief, I put the people of New York before party and politics,” Adams has said.

This is a common theme that you’ll see with the modern Democrat Party machine. They do not condone any significant break with the larger mission. Criticizing the Biden-Harris administration for how it’s been allowing the illegal immigration crisis to worsen is a big “no-no” for anyone, especially if you have a “D” next to your name.
Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are two men who can testify to how brutal and unfair the Biden-Harris Department of Justice is. Now Eric Adams is added to that list. Not only that, but thousands upon thousands of innocent, under the radar Americans have been targeted by the Biden-Harris DOJ and FBI for being pro-life activists.
Law-fare is a prime tactic of the modern Democrat Party machine today, and we’re seeing it eat its own.
