Dana Bash Presses Tom Homan: What ‘Changed’ in Your Meeting with Adams Between Then and Now Other than DoJ ‘Dropping’ Case Against Him?

‘I mean, you absolutely have been honest about the fact that you met with Adams before in December’

EXCERPT:

BASH: "Right. I mean, you absolutely have been honest about the fact that you met with Adams before, in December, I think it was. You came away from that meeting really unsatisfied. What changed between then and now, other than the Department of Justice dropping the case against Adams?"

HOMAN: "No, I didn't come out of that meeting unsatisfied. I was a little — after several weeks, I was taken back to that we hadn't gotten the action that yet about getting to Rikers Island, so we rescheduled the meeting to talk about, okay, well, we talked about how -- what things we need to put in place, how we can make this happen, so let's get going, let's take some steps forward. And that's what the meeting Thursday was about, and we came out Thursday with a plan in how we can get in Rikers Island in the Criminal Intelligence Division, so we can understand who's in there, who's foreign-born in Rikers Island that's a significant public safety threat.”
