NEW YORK CITY—Mayor Eric Adams has defended his decision to cancel several Martin Luther King Jr. Day plans in New York City to attend the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
At 12:07 a.m. Jan. 20, Adams’ office released a public schedule for the mayor that included MLK Day events in Brooklyn and Harlem and a CBS News talk on the inauguration. About eight hours later, a new schedule was released that stated he would be at the presidential inauguration around noon.
