Overview

• Mayor Eric Adams met with President Trump at the White House on May 9, requesting federal support for New York City infrastructure and funding priorities.
• The meeting coincided with the unsealing of 1,785 pages of investigative documents from Adams' dismissed federal corruption case, providing new insights into the evidence collected.
• The documents reveal prosecutors were expanding their investigation into Adams, including allegations of illegal campaign donations and obstruction of justice, before the Trump administration ordered the case's dismissal.
• The dismissal of Adams' case in February 2025 led to multiple resignations from federal prosecutors who opposed the Justice Department's directive to drop the charges.
• Adams and DOJ officials continue to deny allegations of a quid pro quo, despite the judge's statement suggesting the dismissal was tied to Adams' cooperation with Trump's immigration policies.
