JUST INπ: The FBI has uncovered "additional criminal conduct" by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, federal prosecutors said in a new court filing Tuesday.
Adams has already pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment charging him with accepting luxury travel in exchange for political favors, including persuading the fire department to approve the opening of the new Turkish consulate in Manhattan despite the lingering safety concerns of inspectors.

Federal prosecutors did not elaborate but have said in prior court hearings a superseding indictment is "likely" in the mayor's criminal case.
