On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump said that he would consider pardoning Eric Adams if the New York City mayor is convicted on charges related to accepting bribes and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations. “I think that he was treated pretty unfairly,” Trump told reporters from his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago. Despite admitting to not knowing “the gravity of it all, that is, the specifics of Adams’ case, that didn’t stop Trump from downplaying the mayor’s alleged crimes to “being upgraded on an airplane.” But anyone who has taken even the briefest glance at Adams’ long and comical indictment would know that charges levied against the embattled mayor are far more serious than Trump’s characterization.
