Former President Trump wished New York City Mayor Eric Adams luck after the latter was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday on charges revolving around campaign contributions.
Former President Trump said he predicted New York City Mayor Eric Adams would be indicted within a year, while calling on the need for an honest Justice Department. Trump spoke to reporters inside Trump Tower in New York City on Thursday afternoon, and afterward fielded several questions on topics such as the war in Ukraine, Iran and the indictment of Adams, who was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on federal criminal charges on Wednesday following a campaign corruption investigation.
The parks are loaded up, Trump, a former city resident, said, adding that he recently passed the Roosevelt Hotel and it was unrecognizable. ' came out very strongly against it. He was right, by the way, because it’s ruining our country,' he said. 'He was honest, and I said he will be indicted within a year. And that’s what happened.' Trump said the indictments go back a long time, comparing it to when he was indicted in New York City.
On top of campaign donations, Adams allegedly received other perks like free flights on Turkish Airlines to destinations in Europe and Asia, free hotel stays and free high-end meals. In one instance, he allegedly asked about flying to Chile's Easter Island on a Turkish jet — but he couldn't because it did not offer a route connecting New York and the South American country.
