New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on Wednesday, making history as the first NYC mayor to be criminally charged while in office. In his monologue Thursday, Late Night host Seth Meyers argued that the news adds credibility to the guilty verdict in Donald Trump’s recent hush money trial.
“So the sitting Democratic mayor of New York City has been indicted, which really undercuts Donald Trump’s claim that he can’t get a fair trial in New York because it’s biased against Republicans,” Meyers said.
He played a clip of Trump complaining amidst his trial in late May, where he said, “It’s a very, very liberal Democrat area, and so I knew we were in deep trouble… Mother Teresa couldn’t get a fair trial here.”
