Mayor Eric Adams one-on-one: The year gone by and what lies ahead
NEW YORK (WABC) -- As Mayor Eric Adams has done at the end of every year, he talked to Eyewitness News anchor Bill Ritter on Monday about the year that has gone by, and the year ahead.
The embattled mayor has faced many challenges in 2024, notably federal corruption charges that will have him stand trial on April 21, 2025, while many within his own administration face disturbing allegations of their own.
The most recent is Jeffrey Maddrey, now former NYPD chief of department, and longtime friend of Mayor Adams, who resigned over the weekend amid allegations he demanded sex from a subordinate in exchange for opportunities to earn extra pay.
Mayor Adams addresses these challenges and discusses his vision for being mayor of New York City in 2025.
You can see Bill Ritter's entire interview with Mayor Adams this Sunday on Up Close at 11:00 a.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
