Some of the contributions Eric Adams has made to the ruination of New York City are apparently illegal. He has been indicted by a federal grand jury for as yet unspecified crimes:

Adams now becomes the first mayor in New York City history to be indicted while in office. If he were to resign, he would be replaced by the city’s public advocate, Jumaane Williams, who would then schedule a special election.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Williams is such a leftist kook that he wanted to rename Citi Field because global warming.

Getting back to Adams:

Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.

Details about the exact accusations remained unclear, but they are believed to be connected to allegations of the Turkish government illegally funneling money into his mayoral campaign in exchange for approval of the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan, according to sources.

Rather than step down, Adams proclaims himself to be a victim:

In a pre-recorded video statement released on Wednesday night, Adams chalked it all up to a political witch hunt. He believes he is being unfairly cast out for speaking out against the Biden administration’s disastrous handling of the migrant crisis.

The Biden/Harris regime does deserve most of the blame for the tsunami of unlawful welfare colonists that have descended on NYC like a swarm of locusts, but a share goes to Adams, whose sanctimonious sanctuary city posturing and outlandishly lavish handouts have served as fuel on the flames.
