0:46Now PlayingMayor Eric Adams addressed the federal indictment against him for the first time in person Thursday, assuring New Yorkers that “my day-to-day will not change.”
“We expected this,” Adams said, flanked by supporters outside Gracie Mansion. “This is not surprising to us at all.
“The actions that have unfolded over the last 10 months with leaks, commentary, the demonizing — this did not surprise us that we reached this day,” he said.
“I asked New Yorkers to wait to hear our defense before making any judgment,” he said. “In about 30 minutes you’re going to hear a story about the case that is in front of us. The story will come from federal prosecutors, and I ask to wait and here our side to this narrative.
