STORYLINE:
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.
Mayor Adams delivered remarks Wednesday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but did not address news of his dismissed case.
When approached by reporters Adams stated, "When I’m ready to speak, we’ll speak,".
A reporter still attempted a question, "Do you have any reaction at all to your case being dismisses?".
The mayor continued walking away without giving a response.
Adams, a retired police captain and former state lawmaker and Brooklyn official, was elected in 2021 as a centrist Democrat in one of the United States’ liberal strongholds. Since his indictment, Adams has cultivated a warmer relationship with Trump, telling mayoral staffers not to criticize the president publicly.
Adams insists he’s just looking out for the city by having a working relationship with the administration.
