A former Watergate prosecutor has urged a federal judge overseeing the prosecution of New York City Mayor Eric Adams to assign a special counsel to handle the Justice Department's request to drop charges. The prosecutor expressed concerns about the public's interest not being adequately represented in the case.
The prosecutor recommended rejecting the dismissal request and suggested a thorough investigation into how the Justice Department arrived at its decision. It was proposed that Acting Deputy Attorney General should appear in court to explain the position.
