New York City Mayor Eric Adams is due in federal court today, where a judge is set to decide whether to grant a request by the Justice Department to drop corruption charges against him. On Tuesday, Adams refused to take questions from reporters about his deal with the Trump administration to suspend charges in exchange for Adams’s cooperation with Trump’s mass deportation and anti-immigrant policies.
Katie Honan: “Why don’t you take questions from the press?”
Mayor Eric Adams: “'Cause you're all liars.”
Reporter: “What are we lying about exactly?”
Katie Honan: “Yeah. What are we lying about exactly?”
