New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was recently indicted on federal corruption charges, is traveling to Florida to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, just days before Trump's inauguration. The meeting was confirmed by City Hall officials, with a spokesperson stating that Adams has expressed his willingness to work with the incoming administration to address New York's priorities, emphasizing that partnership with the federal government is critical to the city's success. The visit has sparked speculation that Adams may be seeking a pardon from Trump for his corruption charges. Adams reportedly skipped a meeting at the Biden White House to return to New York after his campaign treasurer was raided by federal agents, and now he's heading to Florida to meet with Trump.
