February 14, 2025

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today released the following statement: 

“I want to be crystal clear with New Yorkers: I never offered — nor did anyone offer on my behalf — any trade of my authority as your mayor for an end to my case. Never.  

“I am solely beholden to the 8.3 million New Yorkers that I represent and I will always put this city first. 

“Now, we must put this difficult episode behind us so that trust can be restored, New York can move forward, and we can continue delivering for the people of this city.”
