Trump hints at pardoning NYC Mayor Adams for his stance on illegal migrants.

On Monday, President-elect Trump stated that he would take into account granting a pardon to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is currently under investigation for corruption and bribery allegations.

"During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump stated, "I would, yeah. I believe he was unfairly treated.""

An indictment from the federal government accuses Adams of seeking illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources and concealing them through false documentation. Additionally, he is accused of defrauding taxpayers of $10 million over the past decade and frequently accepting free or heavily discounted vacations funded by his foreign supporters.

""I would certainly examine the facts," Trump stated."

Planet Chronicle Digital has reached out to Adams' office.

Trump minimized claims that Adams received free luxury travel and airline upgrades from Turkish officials while speaking.

""I doubt if there’s anyone here who hasn't been upgraded in an airplane," Trump said."

"It seems like being upgraded in an airplane many years ago - I know probably everybody here has been upgraded," he added. "They see you're all stars, they say, 'I want to upgrade that person from NBC,' and that would mean you'll spend the rest of your life in prison," he said.

Trump stated that Adams was targeted due to his firm stance on illegal immigration and its effects on New York City.

""A few months after I said he would be indicted, he was indeed indicted," Trump stated."

Last week, Adams had a productive discussion with Trump's pick for border czar, Tom Homan, about the migrant crisis.

"According to Adams, the incoming head of ICE desires to target those responsible for violent acts, including those committed against innocent New Yorkers and asylum seekers. Adams expressed his satisfaction with this information, as he shares the same desire."

In November, Adams rejected allegations that he was aligning with Trump to obtain a pardon.

During an appearance on "The View," he was questioned about that topic.

He replied, "I believe the greatest challenge is not being able to defend oneself in public."

He repeated, "I did nothing wrong," multiple times.
