NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams could face more charges in his federal corruption case, prosecutors told a judge Wednesday morning.
Prosecutor Hagan Scotten of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York told judge Dale Ho it is “possible” prosecutors would file a superseding indictment in the case.
Scotten said it is also “likely” additional defendants will be charged.
Alex Spiro, the mayor’s private attorney, requested the trial conclude in March — three months before Adams is to appear on a ballot for reelection.
The hearing in the Manhattan courthouse marked the first in the case — United States of America v. Eric Adams — since the Democratic mayor pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges of bribery and fraud.
Prosecutors last week revealed the findings in a five-count indictment against Adams. Earlier in September, federal investigators raided the homes and seized the phones of several top advisers to the mayor — nearly one year after confronting him on a public street and taking his electronic devices.
