Religious leaders from across the city embraced Mayor Eric Adams on the steps of City Hall Tuesday during a prayerful demonstration on the eve of his next court appearance on a historic federal corruption indictment.

Scores of clergy members supported the embattled mayor, who has seen numerous ongoing probes tear his administration asunder and lead to numerous resignations at City Hall. They implored New Yorkers not to rush to judge the mayor on the indictment but rather focus more on his record of service.
