Overview

• Mayor Eric Adams met with President Trump at the White House to discuss infrastructure and funding for New York City, as confirmed by both Adams and the White House.
• The meeting occurred just two hours before the Department of Justice publicly released 1,785 pages of documents, including search warrants and affidavits, from Adams’s dismissed corruption case.
• The unsealed materials detail evidence collected during the investigation, including allegations of bribes and illegal contributions linked to Adams's campaign and tenure as mayor.
• Adams denied any quid pro quo with the Trump administration, despite Judge Dale Ho’s earlier suggestion that the dismissal of the case appeared to involve concessions on immigration enforcement.
• Adams, running for reelection as an independent after exiting the Democratic primary, faces criticism over his cooperation with Trump and his administration’s policies.
