A Manhattan grand jury has indicted New York Mayor Eric Adams on federal criminal charges, multiple sources familiar confirmed to Fox News. The details about the indictment remain under seal.

Multiple sources have confirmed to Fox News that the indictment could be unsealed as early as tomorrow.

The FBI and Department of Justice are declining to comment on the matter, and it is unclear who Adams has retained as his personal attorney.

Several people have already been raided in the orbit of the 63-year-old former NYPD captain.
