Adams met Trump after DOJ dropped his corruption case

The meeting, framed as a policy discussion, took place on Friday, the same day documents related to the dropped corruption case were unsealed, revealing ongoing investigations before the case's closure. Trump downplayed the meeting, suggesting Adams visited to express gratitude. The dropped case, involving alleged campaign finance violations, led to resignations within the Justice Department and criticism of a potential quid pro quo.
