Eric Adams, the first NYC Mayor to be indicted while in office, stands at a height of 5’8” !

Eric Leroy Adams, an American politician serving as the 110th mayor of New York City, was indicted on Wednesday, September 25, for federal unlawful charges.

With his recent indictment, the 64—year-old Eric Adams became the first mayor in New York history to be charged with corruption while in office.

Likewise, according to CNN, the indictment follows a monthlong federal investigation by the US attorney’s office in Manhattan, which was reportedly investigating his connection to Turkish officials and businessmen and campaign donations he received.

I do not see how Mayor Adams can continue governing New York City.

The flood of resignations and vacancies are threatening gov function. Nonstop investigations will make it impossible to recruit and retain a qualified administration.

For the good of the city, he should resign.…

The details of Eric Adams’s charges aren’t publicly available. Federal prosecutors will announce the indictment on Thursday, September 26.

Similarly, according to the New York Times, prominent elected officials already called for his resignation before the news of Mayor Eric Adams’ indictment.

However, Mayor Eric Adams released a video saying that any charges against him are entirely false and based on lies. He continued, “I know I am innocent. I will request an immediate trial so New Yorkers can hear the truth.“

Despite the recent accusations, Eric has effectively and efficiently helped ban several unlawful activities and worked for the welfare of the people in New York City. He was the one who signed a bill banning discrimination based on height and weight.

In 2023, Eric Adams restricted height and weight discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations, and he himself stands at a height of 5 feet and 8 inches.
