Last month, Trump made it known that he could look at issuing a pardon for Adams, who is facing a federal corruption trial in the spring, Patch previously reported.

[Adams] went against what was happening with the migrants coming in," Trump previously said. “And a few months later, he got indicted. So yeah, I would certainly look at a pardon."

Adams faces one count of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy, two counts of solicitation of a contribution from a foreign national and one count of bribery, Patch previously reported.

Adams received benefits and perks from Turkish officials, including free and discounted airline tickets and hotel accommodations, according to an unsealed indictment.

The perks were worth more than $100,000, prosecutors said. Adams has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

When asked by reporters in December, Adams said he is “not communicating with the president about a pardon," according to a CNBC report.
