Eric Adams to stand trial in April on corruption charges
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to stand trial on corruption charges on April 21, a federal judge ruled Friday, according to The New York Times.
The judge said he would decide at a later date whether he would throw out a bribery charge against the mayor — a request by Adams's lawyers, the Times said.
The ruling comes as Adams faces a five-count criminal indictment stemming from a federal corruption investigation.
Adams was charged with wire fraud, foreign contribution solicitation and bribery earlier this year.
After he was charged, Adams insisted he would not resign from office. He pleaded not guilty in September to federal charges alleging he accepted foreign campaign donations and trips for political favors.
The Hill has contacted the mayor's office for comment.
