White House Breaks Silence On Adani Allegations: 'Ties With India Unshaken'

The White House expressed confidence that strong ties will help India and the US navigate the turmoil in the wake of bribery and fraud charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the allegations during a press briefing on Friday, stating that the Biden administration is aware of the charges against Adani, the chairman of Adani Group. Adani, 62, was indicted in New York along with his nephew Sagar Adani, 30, and other executives for their roles in an alleged multibillion-dollar bribery and fraud scheme to secure lucrative solar energy contracts. "We are aware of these allegations, and I would have to refer you to the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and DOJ (Department of Justice) about the specifics of those allegations against the Adani Group," Jean-Pierre said.
