Eric Adams Says He Greeted Luigi Mangione to 'Look Him in the Eye'

New York City Mayor Eric Adams explained to reporters why he met Luigi Mangione when he entered New York, saying he wanted to "look him in the eye."

Adams told reporter Dan Mannario that he wanted to prove with his presence that New York City is "leading from the front," and that Mangione could not "just come into our city."

Mangione was flanked by at least two-dozen NYPD and FBI agents when he landed in the city to face charges for the homicide of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
