Eric Adams Heads to Mar-a-Lago to Meet With Trump

“Mayor Adams has made quite clear his willingness to work with President-elect Trump and his incoming administration on behalf of New Yorkers — and that partnership with the federal government is critical to New York City’s success,” Fabien Levy, the mayor’s spokesman, said in an email.

Mr. Adams, a Democrat, has drawn criticism from members of his party for appearing to cozy up to Mr. Trump. And while Mr. Adams has expressed a desire to work productively with the incoming administration, critics have suggested that his warmth toward the president-elect masks a different motivation.

In September, Mr. Adams was indicted on five federal corruption charges, part of an investigation that he argues is political retribution for his criticism of President Biden’s immigration policies.

Recently his true colors have really been showing. Same with our governor Hochul. I'm a little worried about our state whereas I never was before.
