At a press conference, Adams cycled through some standard denials, telling reporters that "everyone who knows me knows that I follow the campaign rules and I follow the law." He has taken a defiant stance, referencing the "demonizing" he has faced since investigations into his administration began. Adams stated, "I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you that I would be a target—and a target I became."
Adams' claims of innocence are framed around his view of himself as a victim of a targeted attack. This narrative aligns with a broader trend noted by political observers, where accused politicians often refuse to resign in the face of scandals. Once, major scandals ended careers; now, many officials persist in their roles despite serious allegations.
