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.
