Embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams used rhetoric similar to Donald Trump's when rejecting his recent indictment, saying he is being targeted by the federal government for his policies regarding the large arrival of migrants to the city over the past years.
Reacting to his indictment, which has not been unsealed as of Thursday morning, Adams said he "always knew" he would become a target for demanding help from the federal government on the issue and that the investigation on him began as retaliation.
