"You saw everyday Americans who fought for the education of their children being put on watch lists, I think you saw what happened with Charlie Kirk, when you saw the raiding of President Trump's home. Debates should have happened ... I think that you're seeing the clear indication that the Justice Department under the previous administration used lawfare to go after those who disagree with them," he added."
"I spent my entire life, not only as a police officer, but as a state senator and borough president fighting against injustices," Adams said. "There's a real history, a rich history, of me standing up and fighting what the criminal justice system should never be. Yes, that anger was there long before I was a target, but what I saw happen while I was the mayor is really deplorable, and we saw what happened to President Trump's family as well."
Eric Adams accused the Biden Justice Department of engaging in lawfare against political opponents, citing examples including watch lists for everyday Americans and the raid on Charlie Kirk. He pointed to the search of President Trump's home as evidence of prosecutorial overreach and politicized legal action. Adams described personal experience with law enforcement abuse and emphasized a lifelong commitment to criminal justice reform and fighting injustices. He said anger at the system predated his own targeting but that actions during his mayoralty were deplorable. Adams also referenced impacts on President Trump’s family and noted his indictment was dismissed with prejudice.
