New York City Mayor Eric Adams engaged in a charm campaign with former President Donald Trump and his allies in an effort to secure a dismissal of his corruption case. Adams called Trump to congratulate him on his election victory and discuss city affairs, and even met with Trump's ally Stephen Bannon. The extent of Adams' efforts was revealed in interviews with anonymous sources. The campaign culminated in Adams receiving an in-person meeting with Trump in Florida. Less than a month later, Trump's Justice Department ordered federal prosecutors to seek a dismissal of the indictment against Adams.
