Mayor Eric Adams may possibly face additional criminal charges on top of his historic indictment on federal bribery, soliciting foreign campaign donations and wire fraud charges, prosecutors said at a Wednesday court hearing in Manhattan.

Hagan Scotten, an assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), said during the Oct. 2 conference before Judge Dale Ho that other co-conspirators connected to the Adams indictment, who have yet to be named, are likely also to face criminal charges.
