Mayor Eric Adams' corruption trial will be postponed for several weeks as Manhattan federal Judge Dale Ho opts to hear from independent lawyer Paul Clement regarding the case's dismissal. This decision follows a hearing where both the Justice Department and Adams' defense presented arguments for dismissal, citing the case's interference with the mayor's ability to assist with President Trump's immigration policies. The judge has indicated he will aim to rule quickly after Clement's arguments, slated for submission by March 4, with a potential hearing on March 14.
Manhattan federal Judge Dale Ho ordered Adams' April 21 corruption trial adjourned, appointing Paul Clement to argue against the DOJ's position regarding dismissal.
The judge emphasized the case's public importance necessitating careful deliberation, as the DOJ's stance aligned with Adams' defense.
