  • 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.

The article from Mother Jones discusses the potential implications of Donald Trump's promise to pardon individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot if he wins the 2024 presidential election. It highlights how this pledge could influence the political landscape, particularly in relation to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Adams, who has been critical of Trump in the past, might find himself in a politically advantageous position if Trump follows through with these pardons. The piece explores the dynamics between Trump's legal troubles, his support base, and how this could affect local politics in New York, where Adams has been navigating his own set of challenges, including managing crime rates and public safety concerns. The article suggests that Adams could leverage Trump's actions to bolster his own political standing, potentially aligning with Trump's base or at least not alienating them, despite their previous adversarial relationship.
