Trump to meet NYC Mayor Eric Adams at White House

President Trump will meet with Eric Adams on Friday, the White House confirmed, a meeting that will come hours before the Justice Department is slated to release documents tied to the embattled New York City mayor’s now-defunct corruption case.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing Friday that Adams requested an audience with Trump and the president agreed to meet. She did not offer any details on what the two planned to discuss.

“If (Trump) wishes to discuss the private meeting afterwards, I will let him do that himself,” Leavitt said.

Adams posted a video to social media earlier Friday saying he was traveling to Washington to meet with Trump to discuss “how to deliver for New Yorkers.” It seems to be the first meeting between the president and Adams since the mayor traveled to Florida to meet with Trump before the inauguration.

The timing of the meeting aligns with a deadline for DOJ to publicly disclose documents including search warrants and affidavits tied to the investigation in Adams’s criminal case, which the government dropped earlier this year.

The filings are expected to provide additional clarity on the probe into Adams and the evidence that bolstered the five-count indictment against him, which was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Dale Ho after high-ranking DOJ officials said it was preventing Adams from effectuating Trump’s immigration agenda.

Those efforts to drop the case created turmoil in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, where several federal prosecutors — including the acting U.S. attorney overseeing the case — resigned rather than submit the request.

The documents were initially due last week but the deadline was extended to early Friday evening.

Adams was accused of soliciting and accepting bribes from wealthy foreign business people and at least one Turkish government official, starting as early as 2014 and through his 2021 mayoral campaign and tenure as mayor. He pleaded not guilty.
