SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 10 – The five-count indictment of NYC Mayor Eric Adams was unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court. Inner City Press was the first one in and live tweeted it. City of Maybe book
The unsealing thread
On September 17 at noon he was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Thread.
On November 1 Judge Ho heard argument, including the AUSA citing Judge Rochan's denial of a Snyder motion to dismiss in US v Starks, one of the NYCHA bribery cases Inner City Press has covered - and reserved decision - on Count V, and set the trial day for April 21, 2025 - thread
On January 17 Adams' lawyer Spiro wrote in that former US Attorney Damian Williams' website and op-ed "all but announce that Mr. Williams is planning to run against Mayor Adams." 4 page letter on Patreon here
On the evening of Sunday, February 9 during halftime of the Super Bowl, this: "Congressman Dan Goldman will make an announcement about the New York City Mayor’s race. At 10:00 AM, Goldman will hold a press conference at City Hall Park."
Inner City Press went. Rep Goldman was endorsing Zellnor Myrie. Inner City Press live streamed and asked him about the SDNY prosecutors going to DC to speak with DOJ (and Spiro) about (dropping?) the Adams indictment. Rep Goldman said they indicted it, if strong to drop it would be a miscarriage of justice.
Off-topic questions (like on the Treasury data TRO in SDNY) were not taken. Watch this site.
