The Justice Department has formally requested a New York federal judge to dismiss the public corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. This move comes after a recent standoff between DOJ leadership and career prosecutors who initially refused to sign off on the dismissal.
The court filing, signed by acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, aims to drop the charges against Mayor Adams, who had been scheduled to face trial this spring. Prosecutors Ed Sullivan and Antoinette Bacon have also approved the filing.
