New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed that the possibility of former President Donald Trump being jailed in the state is being discussed between the mayor’s office and the New York City Department of Correction.

Adams said in a Tuesday press conference that the Department of Correction and Rikers Island would “be ready” in case Trump is jailed for violating Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order in his New York hush money trial.

The department’s commissioner “is prepared for whatever comes on Rikers Island, and I’m pretty sure she would be prepared to manage and deal with the situation,” Adams said.

“We have to adjust,” he said. “In this business, particularly around law enforcement, we have to adjust whatever comes our way, but we don’t want to deal with a hypothetical. But they’re professionals. They’ll be ready.”

The Democratic mayor referenced Harvey Weinstein’s recent transfer to the medical ward at Rikers Island to demonstrate the ability of the Department of Correction to adjust to high-profile cases.

Trump is on trial for allegedly falsifying business records stemming from Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen paying former porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 in “hush money” to keep quiet about their alleged affair. Trump denied these allegations and pleaded not guilty on all 34 counts.

The former president has been issued a gag order prohibiting him from disparaging the witnesses and jury. Trump has been found to have repeatedly violated this gag order, prompting Merchan to threaten him with jail time “if necessary.”

Trump has painted himself as the victim of a “two-tiered justice system,” setting himself up to be a martyr if jailed. “You know what?” Trump said on Monday, referring to violating his gag order. “Our Constitution is much more important than jail. It’s not even close. I’ll do that sacrifice any day.”
