What was the alleged quid pro quo arrangement between Trump and Mayor Eric Adams?
The clip reveals an apparent attempt to offer conditional freedom to Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for his cooperation with Trump's planned mass deportations. After Adams flew to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump last month, Trump's DOJ (under Bovey) ordered charges against Adams to be dropped, which seemed 'nakedly obvious' as political manipulation according to Chris Hayes. Trump's own appointed prosecutor recognized this impropriety, leading to her resignation. The arrangement appears to have been mutually beneficial - Adams would avoid legal troubles while supporting Trump's immigration agenda. During these revelations, Adams was reportedly 'doing exactly what Donald Trump wants him to be doing.'
