Mayor Eric Adams spoke outside Gracie Mansion to respond to the five-count indictment against him. The mayor called the situation a witch hunt and a spectacle linked to his stance on immigration.

Adams was surrounded by Black clergy and leaders of the NAACP who all say they support him through this and are looking forward to his day in court to clear his name. Meanwhile, some supporters of the mayor and members of the Black Lives Matter Greater New York chapter were standing against the mayor.
