NEW YORK — There may be more legal problems for New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Just months before his scheduled April trial date, federal prosecutors looking into corruption charges against him claim “law enforcement has continued to identify additional individuals involved in Adams’ conduct, and to uncover additional criminal conduct by Adams.”
Prosecutors made the claim in a court filing submitted Monday. They did not disclose what other alleged criminal conduct they claim to have found.
The new development raises new questions for Adams and his legal team. Will the feds file a superseding indictment and, if they do, will it complicate his run for reelection? A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney declined to comment on whether there would be a superseding indictment.
If there was one, it could push back Adams’ April trial date, and that could eat into the time he has to campaign for reelection.
