Mayor Eric Adams doubled down Tuesday on the unsubstantiated claim that President Biden’s Justice Department indicted him on federal corruption charges earlier this fall purely for political reasons.
Adams made the remarks during his weekly “off-topic” news conference on Dec. 3, when a reporter asked for his reaction to Biden pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, on Sunday evening. The younger Biden was facing possible jail time after being convicted on federal gun and tax evasion charges.
