At Bronx church, Mayor Adams again vows to work through criminal indictment: ‘I’m not going to resign, I’m going to reign’

Mayor Eric Adams told Bronx churchgoers on Sunday that he would not let the criminal indictment against him prevent him from continuing to serve the people of New York.

Speaking to members of the Emmanuel Presbyterian Reformed Church, who greeted him with warm applause during the congregation’s 25th -anniversary celebration, on Sept. 29, Hizzoner dispelled the calls for him to step down as mayor in the wake of the five-count indictment charging him with allegedly committing bribery, fraud and public corruption over a decade-long period.
