Former Watergate prosecutor Nathaniel Akerman offered to oversee the Justice Department's dismissal request for Eric Adams's corruption case due to "overwhelming evidence" of "quid pro quo" between the New York City mayor and federal government.
In a letter to Judge Dale Ho, according to the Associated Press, Akerman stated that there was "overwhelming evidence from DOJ's own internal documents showing that the dismissal of the Adams indictment is not in the public interest and is part of a corrupt quid pro quo between Mayor Adams and the Trump administration."
