Adams and Trump in the Same Boat.

Donald Trump has Eric Adams’ back. And Adams isn’t mad about it.

The Republican nominee for president has long insisted he is targeted by a politically motivated federal justice department.

He said last week that the newly criminally indicted Democratic New York City mayor is now in the same boat — though neither claim is substantiated by evidence.

“I watched about a year ago when he talked about how the illegal migrants are hurting our city, and the federal government should pay us, and we shouldn’t have to take them,” Trump said in response to a question at a Trump Tower news conference. “And I said: You know what? He’ll be indicted within a year. And I was exactly right.”

Earlier today, Adams barely hesitated before welcoming the sentiment, answering a question about Trump at his first wide-ranging weekly news conference since he pleaded not guilty Friday to bribery charges in federal court.

“I welcome support from every American, no matter where they are and who they are,” the mayor said. “Those who know me and know how I am, and those just reading up on this. So every American in this great country, I welcome the support of.”

Adams pleaded not guilty Friday to five federal corruption charges, including wire fraud and bribery. Federal prosecutors with the Southern District of New York allege he accepted travel perks and illegal campaign donations from Turkish officials in exchange for hastening a Turkish consulate in Manhattan that may not have passed its fire safety inspection.

On Monday, Adams’ attorneys charged in court papers that prosecutors with the Southern District are responsible for leaked information about the case.

Trump’s criminal cases include federal election interference, federal classified documents, Georgia election interference and New York hush money allegations.

Adams’ news conference today was set against a starker-than-usual backdrop.

Rather than seated comfortably in City Hall’s blue room and flanked by about a dozen top aides, he stood alone in the rotunda surrounded by bright signs broadcasting his accomplishments on safety, affordability and equity.

Adams declined to repeat his allegation that the Biden administration’s Department of Justice has its sights set on him because he vocally criticized them for failing to help New York City support an influx of migrants.

But he declared it clear as day when he learned last week of the indictment against him.

“Despite our pleas, when the federal government did nothing as its broken immigration policies overloaded our shelter system with no relief, I put the people of New York before party and politics,” he said in a video to New Yorkers that declared his innocence.

Adams’ decision Tuesday against rejecting Trump’s support comes even as he has said he would help Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris win in any way they needed, including getting out the vote among Black men, it has reported.

Adams is not a Harris surrogate. He wasn’t a Joe Biden one either.
