New York City Mayor Eric Adams has issued a pre-recorded videotaped statement asserting that he believes the federal government intends to charge him with federal crimes.

The statement was disseminated from Gracie Mansion and emphasized his commitment to fighting the charges, which he described as unjust and targeting him for standing his ground for New Yorkers. The charges are expected to be unsealed as soon as tomorrow.
