NYC Mayor Eric Adams scheduled to appear in court after federal indictment

NEW YORK -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams is scheduled to appear in court Friday to be arraigned on federal bribery, conspiracy and campaign finance charges. 

Prosecutors allege he abused his power for nearly a decade, putting the interests of foreign nationals above those of his own constituents. 

Adams denied the accusations laid out in a sprawling 57-page indictment, maintaining his innocence and saying he is ready to fight the charges in court.
