Judge dismisses corruption case against Mayor Adams
A federal judge dismissed New York City Mayor Eric Adams? corruption case on Wednesday, acquiescing to the Justice Department?s extraordinary request to set aside criminal charges so the Democrat could help with President Donald Trump?s immigration crackdown. The judge, though, denied prosecutors the ability to potentially bring the criminal case back after the mayoral election. Judge Dale E. Ho?s order to dismiss the case ?with prejudice? spares Adams from having to govern in a way that pleases Trump, or potentially risk having the Republican?s Justice Department revive the charges.
