“Today, I’m headed to our nation’s capital to meet with @POTUS Trump to continue our discussions on how to deliver for New Yorkers,” Adams said in a social media post.

In an attached video, he said he is looking for ways to collaborate “to address infrastructure and other important funding items.”

The New York Daily News reported that Adams would try to secure more federal money for the city and its Emergency Management agency, which is facing cuts from the Trump administration, during the 30 minute meeting. Adams’s office also pointed out that Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has met with Trump in D.C.

The meeting comes as materials related to Adams’s corruption case, which the Trump administration dropped, are expected to be released on Friday. The materials are expected to include search warrants related to the investigation and affidavits describing the evidence.

Judge Dale E. Ho said the alleged quid pro quo between the Trump administration and Adams, in which the mayor would grant the administration’s immigration priorities in exchange for his case being dropped, “smacks of a bargain: dismissal of the indictment in exchange for immigration policy concessions.” 

Trump has shown a particular interest in New York City in his second term in office. He’s argued with Hochul over the city’s congestion pricing toll and said in February that he wants to make “NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN!”

Adams is running for reelection as New York City’s mayor. He is jockeying for a second term in office, this time as an independent, after dropping out of the Democratic primary race in April.

TRUMP ENDORSES LAWLER FOR HOUSE REELECTION DESPITE LIKELY NEW YORK GOVERNOR AMBITIONS

Ahead of the November election, Adams faces low approval ratings after his corruption indictment and de facto acquittal. He is unlikely to win against the likely Democratic primary winner, former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

This will be Adams’s first public meeting with Trump since he returned to the White House.
