Celebrating dropped charges, Mayor Adams promotes Trump FBI director Kash Patel's book
Mayor Eric Adams celebrated a federal judge’s permanent dismissal of his corruption case on Wednesday by endorsing a book written by a far-right loyalist of President Donald Trump now serving as FBI director.
“God bless you, New York City. And God bless what we have accomplished,” Adams said in a public address. “When all that came at me, Jesus stepped in. And he uses who he uses, and New Yorkers stopped me all the time in trying to find the rationale behind this, and I found it in this book. I’m going to encourage every New Yorker to read it.”
The mayor held up a copy of “Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy,” a 2023 book by FBI director Kash Patel. An unwavering Trump ally, Patel is a former federal prosecutor who became a prominent right-wing media personality and a financial backer of lawsuits against the New York Times, Politico and CNN challenging their coverage of the president.
"A sinister cabal of corrupt law enforcement personnel, intelligence agents and military officials at the highest levels of government plotted to overthrow a president. Even after they failed, they continue to secretly pull the levers of power without any accountability to the American people," reads the synopsis of "Government Gangsters."
