Separately he called on the Biden administration to stop selling off unused portions of border wall that were purchased but not installed during his first administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah I would,\u201d consider pardoning Adams, Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, before saying that he was not familiar with the specifics of the charges Adam is facing.<\/p>\n<p>Adams is facing <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/aoc-nyc-mayor-eric-adams-investigations-419eb7135ac7d52edbf32f7e45d0f5da\">federal fraud and corruption charges<\/a><\/span>,, accused of accepting flight upgrades and other luxury travel perks valued at $100,000 along with illegal campaign contributions from a Turkish official and other foreign nationals looking to buy his influence. Multiple members of his administration have also come under investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at his first press conference since winning the election, Trump also threatened legal action against the Biden administration over sales of portions of border wall, saying he has spoken to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and other Texas officials about a potential restraining order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more on building the same wall we already have,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt\u2019s almost a criminal act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congress last year required the Biden administration to dispose of the unused border wall pieces. The measure, included in the massive National Defense Authorization Act, allows for the sale or donation of the items to states on the southern border, providing they are used to refurbish existing barriers, not install new ones. Congress also directed the Pentagon to account for storage costs for the border wall material while it has gone unused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m asking today, Joe Biden, to please stop selling the wall,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump described the handover between Biden and his incoming team as \u201ca friendly transition,\u201d he also took issue with efforts to allow some members of the federal workforce to continue working from home. Trump said that if government workers don\u2019t come back into the office under him, they will be dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was joined at the appearance by SoftBank Group CEO <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/masayoshi-son\">Masayoshi Son<\/a><\/span>, who announced that <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/donald-trump-softbank-investment-us-8df47668f894b5d922839d98887bbb0e\">the Japanese company is planning to invest $100 billion in U.S. projects over the next four years<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>It was a win for Trump, who has used the weeks since the election to promote his policies, negotiate with foreign leaders and try to strike deals.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on his Truth Social site last week, Trump had said that anyone making a $1 billion investment in the United States \u201cwill receive fully expedited approvals and permits, including, but in no way limited to, all Environmental approvals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGET READY TO ROCK!!!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Deals announced with much fanfare have sometimes failed to deliver on promised investments.
