Mayor Eric Adams confidently returned to Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, signaling a thumbs up despite facing serious accusations. Just days prior, Adams had entered a not guilty plea in response to charges of accepting bribes and unlawful campaign contributions. The scene outside the courthouse was tense, as Adams encountered vocal criticism from protesters. Amidst calls for his resignation, one protester loudly condemned him, labeling the mayor a “criminal” and a “sellout.” The atmosphere was charged as Adams approached the courthouse for the scheduled 10:30 a.m. procedural hearing.
