During a congressional hearing, New York Mayor Eric Adams faced intense questioning from Democrats regarding alleged collaboration with the Trump administration over his corruption case, which he steadfastly denied. The hearing showcased a growing divide between Adams and his party, contrasted with a supportive approach from Republican members. Adams reiterated his stance against accusations of a quid pro quo and highlighted the financial burden of illegal immigration on New York City, stating $6.9 billion has been spent to accommodate asylum seekers, emphasizing significant long-term impacts of this issue.
"Are you selling out New Yorkers to save yourself from prosecution?" Garcia bluntly asked Adams.
"There's no deal, no quid pro quo and I did nothing wrong," Adams responded.
Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Kentucky) called Adams "outstanding" while introducing him.
"Mr. Chairman, we spent $6.9 billion," Adams said. "And the long term impact of that is extremely significant."
