Adams, who is embroiled in allegations of a quid pro quo with the Trump administration, asserted, "I have a mission to finish, the mission that God put me on many years ago," further stating that "God has fortified me."
According to Fox News, Adams, a Democrat, has been indicted on charges including bribery, soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, wire fraud, and conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty to all accusations. The charges were dropped as part of former President Donald Trump's initiative to reform the Justice Department, which he claimed was being used as a tool against political adversaries.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul expressed her concerns about the serious nature of the allegations against Adams. She stated, "The allegations are extremely concerning and serious, but I cannot as the governor of this state have a knee-jerk, politically motivated reaction like a lot of other people are saying right now." Hochul, who holds the authority to remove Adams from office, emphasized the importance of a measured approach, saying, "I have to do what’s smart, what’s right and I’m consulting with other leaders in government at this time."
Amidst these developments, Adams has announced his intention to seek re-election as a Democrat, as he conveyed during an interview on "Fox & Friends."
