NYC Mayor charged with corruption: Eyes on Turkey
New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, conspiracy, wire fraud and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals. The prosecutors in the case unsealed a 57-page federal indictment on Thursday, accusing the mayor of receiving luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and in exchange, pressuring New York City’s Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection. The building in question is the Turkish House.
Mayor Eric Adams, formerly a police captain, allegedly accepted more than $100,000 in luxury travel—including hotel stays, lavish meals and airline upgrades—from Turkish nationals beginning in 2016, when he still served as president of the New York borough of Brooklyn. In exchange for these and illegal donations by Turkish nationals to his 2021 mayoral campaign through straw donors, he is said to have circumvented due process regarding building permits about the Turkish House.

We sat down with Louis for a conversation that ranged from the price of classism to shame and the imagination of a new left.
