NYC Mayor Adams Attends Court Hearing On DOJ Motion To Drop Corruption Charges NEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 19: New York Mayor Eric Adams arrives for a court hearing at Thurgood Marshall Courthouse on February 19, 2025 in New York City. Judge Dale E. Ho scheduled a hearing in response to the Justice Department’s request to dismiss corruption charges against Adams, as three senior federal prosecutors have resigned in connection with the department’s decision to drop the charges. The hearing comes after four deputy mayors from Adams’ administration resigned over his cooperation with U.S. President Donald Trump on immigration, which prosecutors on his bribery case alleged was part of a deal with the Trump administration’s Department of Justice to drop the charges against him.
Legal experts across the political spectrum urge the judge to take action. [ more › ]
