Adams is the first sitting New York mayor to be indicted while in office, facing charges of bribery, wire fraud, and illegal campaign contributions totaling $10 million.
In a taped video message, Adams stated, 'My fellow New Yorkers, it is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes...these charges will be entirely false, based on lies.'
The indictment alleges that Adams accepted illegal donations and luxury perks, with the FBI searching his official residence after the historic charges were unveiled.
Gracie Mansion has served as the residence for New York City mayors since 1942, except for Michael Bloomberg, and its history is highlighted amid the current controversies.
