Judge Orders Court Hearing On DOJ’s Push To Drop Mayor Adams Case

Federal Judge Dale Ho has ordered New York Mayor Eric Adams, his attorneys, and DOJ prosecutors to appear in court Wednesday to justify the DOJ’s request to dismiss corruption charges against Adams. Ho’s order signals skepticism over the unusual move, which has drawn concerns about a possible deal between Adams and the DOJ linked to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Seven DOJ prosecutors resigned last week in protest of the dismissal bid.
