Trump Claims He’ll Consider Pardoning NYC Mayor

The Associated Press reports:

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday said in a far-ranging news conference that he would consider pardoning embattled New York Mayor Eric Adams.

“Yeah I would,” consider pardoning Adams, Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, before saying that he was not familiar with the specifics of the charges Adam is facing.

Adams is facing federal fraud and corruption charges,, accused of accepting flight upgrades and other luxury travel perks valued at $100,000 along with illegal campaign contributions from a Turkish official and other foreign nationals looking to buy his influence. Multiple members of his administration have also come under investigation.
