New York Mayor Eric Adams faces serious corruption allegations involving bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources, which the Justice Department, under the new administration, seeks to dismiss. Judge Dale E. Ho, a second-year federal judge, is tasked with determining the fate of this case in light of recent resignations by seven prosecutors who protested the decision to drop charges. Ho aims to investigate the motivations behind the dismissal request and Adams' potential complicity, while navigating the complexities of political influence in the justice process.
Ho is summoning the parties... as he seeks to drill down on the Justice Department's drive to end the case and the mayor's willingness to go along with that.
Bove has said it wants the case dismissed, in part, to ensure Adams' cooperation with Trump's immigration crackdown.
