Adams made multiple phone calls to Trump and met with his ally, Steve Bannon, to discuss city matters. Adams, facing criminal charges and political isolation, sought support from Trump and his family. He received a meeting with Trump in Florida shortly before the inauguration, where Trump showed sympathy for Adams's legal issues. This outreach marked a significant shift for Adams, who previously faced alarm from New York Democrats over Trump's election. The mayor's efforts aimed to build a connection with the incoming administration.
