“It seems that the Department of Justice dropped the case against Adams, I already changed you in Rikers. That is what happened? Dana Bash asked from CNN.

“No, I think it’s ridiculous,” Homan replied.

Homan said that he and Adams have long talked about establishing a federal presence of application of the law in Rikers and working together to address public security threats.

“I really don’t think it’s anything to do with what is happening in the Department of Justice,” Homan said. “We never talk about that. It is out of my lane. “

However, in a joint interview with Adams in “Fox and Friends” on Friday, Homan had a warning for the mayor.

“If it does not come, I will return to New York City and we will not be sitting on the couch,” he said. “I will be in his office, in his butt, saying: ‘Where is the agreement we reached?'”
