New York City Mayor Eric Adams, the city’s first mayor to face criminal charges while in office, appeared on the morning of Oct. 2 in a Lower Manhattan federal courtroom, where Judge Dale Ho declined to set a trial date and federal prosecutors alluded to the possibility that new charges may be on the way.

In the Oct. 2 court session, prosecutors not only reiterated the serious criminal charges against the 64-year-old mayor spelled out in the indictment unsealed last week but also suggested that he may face more charges and that others may be indicted as the case develops.
