Rep. Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Mayor Eric Adams

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (NY-05) issued the following statement:

"The indictment of New York City Mayor Eric Adams is serious and as a matter of public trust deserves fair and judicious treatment by the public. The main tenet of the United States justice system is that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Due process must run its course, allowing for a jury of his peers to render a verdict. As this situation unfolds, I will continue to focus on serving the people of New York's 5^th Congressional District."
