Hizzoner — who is the first sitting New York City mayor to be indictment on federal charges — was slated to go before a judge for an initial hearing at the Manhattan federal courthouse at noon.
Mayor Eric Adams surrendered himself to the feds Friday ahead of a scheduled appearance before a Manhattan federal judge — a day after he was hit with a historic indictment alleging a decade-long pattern of corruption.
Hizzoner — who is the first sitting New York City mayor to be indicted — was scheduled to make an initial appearance at the Manhattan federal courthouse at noon on charges he took bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals in exchange for favors.
He is expected to plead not guilty.
The historic five-count indictment unsealed Thursday accused the under-fire Democrat of taking a slew of improper gifts from Turkish officials and businesspeople — including $123,000 in free hotel stays and free, or deeply discounted, flights.
