Trump team requests NYC Mayor Adams to attend inauguration.

Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, will attend President-elect Trump's inauguration on Monday at the request of the incoming administration, according to a spokesman for the mayor.

Fabien Levy, New York City's deputy mayor for communications, revealed that Trump's team extended an invitation for the mayor to attend the inaugural ceremonies in Washington, D.C. "Mayor Adams accepted on behalf of New York City," Levy stated on X.

Levy stated that the mayor has consistently emphasized that America has elected a new president and it is imperative for us to collaborate in order to enhance the safety, strength, and affordability of New York City.

On Monday at noon ET, Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, with the ceremony moved indoors due to an artic blast affecting most of the country. Prior to the ceremony, Trump attended a worship service at St. John's Episcopal Church with his family and Vice President-elect JD Vance.

Three days after meeting in Palm Beach, Florida, the invitation for Adams to attend Trump's inauguration arrives.

According to Adams' spokesperson, the pair discussed public safety, manufacturing jobs, and potential infrastructure investments that the federal government can make in New York City.

The Democratic mayor, who is facing federal corruption charges and awaiting trial in April, stated that he and Trump did not discuss the mayor's legal issues during their meeting. As president, Trump has the authority to grant Adams a pardon.

Adams is accused of accepting bribes in the form of luxury travel and illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals in exchange for corrupt acts.

Trump, who was found guilty in a New York court of falsifying business records, has previously defended Adams and asserted that the charges against the mayor might have been instigated because he publicly criticized President Biden regarding the border.

Trump said he would consider a pardon for Adams.

Despite facing criticism from his fellow Democrats for meeting with Trump, Adams' decision to attend the inauguration indicates that he is not swayed by left-wing critics.

As I have consistently done, I will seize every chance to champion the interests of New Yorkers and our city. Following our conversation, I am convinced that our city and the federal government can collaborate to enhance the safety, resilience, and affordability of New York City. I appreciate President Trump's consideration and am eager to collaborate with him to improve the lives of all New Yorkers, Adams stated on Friday after meeting with Trump.
