Mayor Eric Adams mounted an unusual defense of his administration's handling of Rikers Island by inviting MKramerTV to review 90 minutes of security camera footage from inside the troubled jail.
Adams hasn't held back on criticizing the federal monitor's report and continues to support Molina.
"I looked at the tapes and I said there has to be more, because clearly those tapes do not indicate dangerous conditions and unsafe practices. It actually showed just the opposite," Adams said. "This administration did not create the long-standing issues on Rikers Island.
"The numbers are showing how we're moving in the right direction. We had previous administrations that were doing just the opposite," Adams said. The city is expected to argue in court that it should be allowed to continue running Rikers Island as soon as Tuesday.
