Judge Ends Eric Adams Case, but Says U.S. Cannot Use Charges as Leverage

A judge on Wednesday dismissed federal corruption charges against Eric Adams, ending the first criminal case against a New York City mayor in modern history and underscoring how prosecutorial power is being used to advance President Trump’s agenda. In his ruling, the judge, Dale E. Ho of Federal District Court in Manhattan, refused to allow the government to keep open the option of reinstating the charges, as the Justice Department had sought. Even so, the ruling underscores the remarkable power that Mr. Trump’s administration has to terminate cases, regardless of the rationale. The decision abruptly ended the long-running case weeks before it had been set for trial. It was also the culmination of a bitter clash between the prosecutors who indicted Mr. Adams and the officials at Mr. Trump’s Justice Department who killed the case. The fight, in which Manhattan […]
