On Friday morning, Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, appeared in federal court in Manhattan for his arraignment on charges of accepting illegal campaign donations and undeclared luxury travel gifts in exchange for performing favors for the Turkish government and its businessmen.

On Thursday, a five-count indictment was unsealed against Adams, 64, accusing him of conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud, and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals.

Despite increasing calls for his resignation from New York politicians and the possibility of being removed from office by Gov. Kathy Hochul through a rarely used provision in the city's Charter, he has pledged to continue fighting the case.

At noon ET, a magistrate judge will hear Adams' not-guilty plea.

Judge Dale Hoe of the District Court has scheduled an initial conference in Adams' case for October 2nd, despite the mayor's lawyer's request to hold both the arraignment and that conference on the same day.
