NYC mayoral race: Adams’ primary opponents slam him for reportedly directing city workers not to criticize Trump

Mayor Eric Adams’ Democratic primary challengers slammed him on Monday over a report that he instructed top city officials not to criticize Republican President Donald Trump and not to interfere with federal immigration enforcement actions at city facilities.

One of those challengers, city Comptroller Brad Lander, went so far as to suggest that Hizzoner had effectively instructed city workers to assist in a push to win Trump’s help in dismissing his federal corruption charges.
