NYC Mayor Adams Corruption Case Dismissed With Prejudice
Federal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams have been dropped with prejudice by Judge Dale Ho, meaning the case cannot be reinstated. This decision follows a request from the Department of Justice, supported by a court-appointed friend, citing concerns that the ongoing investigation hampered Adams’ governance and 2025 mayoral campaign. While the DOJ stated the dismissal wasn’t based on evidence strength, Judge Ho’s ruling acknowledged concerns about a potential “bargain” but ultimately lacked the authority to compel continued prosecution. Adams, who maintains his innocence, has apologized to New Yorkers.
