New York Mayor Eric Adams, who’s been indicted on five federal corruption charges, is meeting with Trump today at Mar-a-Lago to discuss “New Yorkers’ priorities,” his aides said. The visit is being paid for with city funds, Adams’ spokesperson added, because the trip has a “city purpose.”
“The mayor looks forward to having a productive conversation with the incoming president on how we can move our city and country forward,” his spokesperson Fabien Levy posted on social media.
People with knowledge of the visit told The New York Times that Adams was the one who requested the meeting. The two men have grown closer in recent months, with Trump recently saying he’s open to pardoning him if he’s convicted.
“I think that he was treated pretty unfairly,” Trump said of Adams last month.
