A federal judge is set to hear arguments on the Justice Department's motion to dismiss corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The controversial move has led to an exodus of prosecutors and city officials.
The DOJ's decision to dismiss the charges has sparked outrage, with eight federal prosecutors and four deputy mayors resigning in protest. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has defended the motion, citing concerns about interference with the 2025 elections and the defendant's ability to govern.
