He is facing one charge each of bribery and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and two charges relating to receiving campaign contributions from foreign nationals. He is also charged with wire fraud.

That's what we expected this morning, based on previous reporting. Adams is holding a presser at the moment, so we may have more on this later. Thus far, it doesn't appear that a FARA charge is part of this indictment, but that might be small potatoes if the DoJ can prove these charges anyway.
