A federal judge is set to hold a hearing on Wednesday to review the Justice Department's motion to dismiss corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. This hearing marks the first public confrontation following the resignation of seven federal prosecutors and the departure of four deputy mayors in protest.
Amid mounting calls for Mayor Adams to resign or be removed from office, former prosecutors and advocacy groups have urged the judge to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the dismissal motion. Suggestions have been made for the appointment of a special prosecutor if deemed necessary.
