Capehart to Eric Adams: Are You Seeking a Pardon from Trump?

EXCERPT:

CAPEHART: "Well, you say, 'This is not about me,' but there are quite a few people who think otherwise. I want to get your reaction to this quote from Councilman Lincoln Restler on your consideration of reopening an ICE office on Rikers. I'm quoting here: 'The last thing New York City needs is ICE in schools, shelters and jails advancing their mass deportation schemes,' he said, 'It’s clear Mayor Adams is more interested in securing a pardon from an incoming Trump administration than protecting immigrant New Yorkers and upholding our sanctuary city laws.' That’s a very strong allegation against you, Mayor Adams. Your reaction to that and are you seeking a pardon from President-Elect Trump or trying to?"
