But the President didn't just drop the charges, didn't pardon the charges. He dropped the charges. Conditioned on Adams, Cooperating with his administration. And that's when New Yorkers really felt betrayed, because Adams made a deal to keep himself out of jail. But he became Trump's puppet in New York City. (05:35–05:51)
