New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to meet with Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, with speculation that Trump could pardon him on federal corruption charges. Adams has expressed a willingness to work with the incoming administration, citing the importance of federal partnership for the city’s success. The meeting will focus on New Yorkers’ priorities and moving the city and country forward. Adams has shown interest in working with the Trump administration on immigration and border security, meeting with incoming border czar Tom Homan in December. Trump has indicated that he would consider pardoning Adams, stating that he believes Adams was treated unfairly in the bribery and wire fraud case against him. The mayor has also expressed a desire to attend Trump’s inauguration. The meeting between Adams and Trump comes amid a changing dynamic in the relationship between the two political figures, with Adams seeking cooperation while facing legal challenges.
