Mayor Eric Adams’ hopes of beating his federal corruption rap could hinge on a unlikely savior: Donald Trump. A Trump win in the 2024 presidential election is viewed by some in Adams’ camp as potential path to legal victory for the mayor against an unprecedented federal indictment, sources close to the case told The Post.
The insiders’ hopes are that Trump would quickly replace Attorney General Merrick Garland with a pick who could scuttle the case against Adams, sources close to the case told The Post. “Any adult will see this is a bulls–t case, so a new attorney general will help,” a source with direct knowledge of Adams’ legal strategy said.
“I don’t think it is far-fetched to say a Trump win could help Adams.”

Is Da Mayor a dreamer?
If Adams and his cronies are guilty as charged, why would Trump have any inclination to pardon him? Have we now decided federal laws don’t apply to anyone we may personally admire or like?
I’m sure one of the demands he will have of whoever becomes the next AG will be to fire everyone currently inside the AG’s Office. Precedent has long been set by former Democrats starting with Bill Clinton.
It’s a “Show me the man, I’ll show you the crime” selective prosecution situation.
Not that Adams is pure, but the case against him was brought solely for political reasons due to Adams complaining publicly about huge unfunded financial burdens dumped by the Biden administrion on New York City to deal with runaway illegal immigration.
The message is: Mind your place in the Donkey Party pecking order and slently toe the line, OR face calamitous consequences.
Adams will switch to become a Republican if that’s what it will take!
Trump will drop the charges as part of a larger effort to clean house at DOJ, including eliminating politically-motivated prosecutions.
Adams has been a career DEI bureaucrat who doesn’t deserve anything from President Trump.
True story....
January 20, 2021 — President Donald Trump commuted the 28 year federal prison sentence of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick early Wednesday in one of his final acts.
New York City keeps electing hopelessly incompetent out of their league blacks.
Why don’t the white, feel good, self loathing, marxist liberals in NYC elect some good, competent blacks and yes they are all found in the Republican Party. And, make no mistake that it takes the white liberals to elect someone like Adams.
Just a few of MANY names are: Condoleeza Rice, John Edwards R Mich, Burgess Owens R Fl, Candace Owens, James Evans, Mildred Jefferson and Armstrong Williams to name just a few.
Could it be that the white, feel good, self loathing, marxist liberals in NYC are just dumb as a post?
Turns out that for the black and white, feel good, self loathing, marxist liberals in NYC, they don't consider those folks "black enough."
The man who would replace Adam’s is a raving leftist lunitic.
The woman Adams ran against last time was a woke progressive. e ran as the law & order “more conservative” Democrat.
So you supported the ultra-woke, ultra-progressive woman he ran against?
Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Garland and some 500 followers at the DOJ left a day or two before the inauguration as getting ‘YOU’RE FIRED’ from President Trump is more than these commies could handle.
Adams should endorse Trump.
That would be interesting, but I’m not sure it would help him. Has he even endorsed Biden or Harris?
Mame him fight the system and spend a fortune on legal fees for a couple of years before giving any thought to dropping the charges.
Lol.........get someone to read what I said to you 3 times real slow.
When Clinton took office, he fired all the attorney generals. Trump needs to do the same.
I thought I heard Pres Trump speak well of Mayor Adams with regard to current state of NYC. He seems way better than DeBlasio and the progressives trying to run him out!
