Trump Mulls Pardon for Mayor Adams Amid Corruption Charges
President-elect Donald Trump has stated he would consider pardoning New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who faces federal fraud and corruption charges. This comes as Adams' chief advisor, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, resigned amidst a separate grand jury investigation and potential indictment for alleged improper gifts.
Adams' Advisor Resigns, Faces Indictment
Lewis-Martin's lawyer claims the investigation is politically motivated and that she's innocent. The investigation centers around the city's leasing of commercial properties. Meanwhile, the NYC Campaign Finance Board denied Adams public matching funds for his reelection bid due to concerns about his campaign's conduct.
Adams Remains Defiant
Despite the federal indictment and lack of matching funds, Mayor Adams remains defiant, asserting he will continue his campaign and lead the city. The situation is unfolding rapidly, with potential indictments and legal battles ahead.
