Federal prosecutors in New York have accused Mayor Eric Adams of a years-long bribery scheme, alleging he took luxury travel perks from the Turkish government.
In exchange for luxury travel benefits, Adams reportedly influenced city officials to support the construction of the Turkish House near the United Nations.
Despite the serious allegations, Adams has denied any wrongdoing, showing resilience amid growing calls from Democrats for his resignation since the indictment.
If he does not plead guilty today, the trial will be overseen by US District Judge Dale Ho, marking his first high-profile case.
