Eric Adams to Meet With Trump in Washington About NYC ‘Priorities’

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City met with President Trump in Washington on Friday as documents related to his abandoned federal corruption case were released.

The mayor’s office said that Mr. Adams planned to “discuss New York City priorities,” including infrastructure projects. After the meeting, the mayor said he brought up a wind farm project off the coast of Long Island that could have benefited the city but was canceled last month by the Trump administration.

The president offered another take: “I think he came in to thank me, frankly,” Mr. Trump said without elaborating.

Asked what they discussed, Mr. Trump said: “Almost nothing.”

Mr. Adams would appear to have reason for gratitude after the Trump administration moved to shutter his criminal case. On Friday, prosecutors released material related to the case, including search warrants and affidavits describing some of the evidence in the case. The judge who presided over the mayor’s case ordered that the documents should be made public in response to a request from The New York Times after the charges were dismissed.

Though the material runs close to 2,000 pages, an initial review indicated that the F.B.I. and prosecutors had been investigating whether Mr. Adams committed witness tampering, though they did not charge him with that crime when he was indicted. In a statement, a lawyer for Mr. Adams, Alex Spiro, said that the case “should never have been brought in the first place and is now over.”

Mr. Trump had previously said he knew nothing about Mr. Adams’s case and was not involved in it.

The material helps to elucidate the charges against Mr. Adams, which a federal judge, Dale E. Ho, dismissed last month after a request from high-ranking officials in the Justice Department who said the case was hindering the mayor’s cooperation with the president’s immigration agenda.
