A federal judge in Brooklyn has torn into the Trump administration's Justice Department over its move to drop the bribery case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, refusing to bury two counts and branding a senior official's conduct 'highly unusual'.
US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis, of the Eastern District of New York, on Monday agreed to dismiss three of the five counts against Adani, one of the world's richest men, but reserved judgement on the remaining two, saying prosecutors had failed to clear basic procedural hurdles. He gave the department until 31 August to explain itself.
