Lawyers for New York Mayor Eric Adams asked a federal judge on Monday to dismiss the bribery charge included in his federal indictment, saying the government’s allegations are “extraordinarily vague” and failed to prove Adams broke the law.

Adams was charged last week with five criminal counts, including bribery, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national.

He pleaded not guilty on Friday, pledging to fight the charges and stay on as mayor. He is the first sitting mayor of New York City to face criminal charges in the modern era.

In a 25-page filing, Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro, said prosecutors fell short in showing that the mayor accepted bribes when he allegedly pressured the New York Fire Department to allow a Turkish consulate building to open despite serious safety concerns.
