New York City Mayor Eric Adams Reportedly Off the Hook in Corruption Case as Prosecutors Ordered to Drop Charges

In a shocking twist, New York City Mayor Eric Adams likely won’t be facing consequences in his alleged corruption case.

Acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has instructed federal prosecutors in New York to drop all charges against Adams, a senior Justice Department official confirmed to several news outlets. However, the dismissal is without prejudice, meaning charges could be refiled in the future.

Adams’ attorney Alex Spiro called the decision a “victory.”

“As I said from the outset, the mayor is innocent — and he would prevail. Today he has,” Spiro stated.

Bove justified the move by arguing that the indictment, filed in September, came too close to June’s mayoral primary and hindered Adams’ support for Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and crime-fighting initiatives. He also suggested political motivations, writing, “It cannot be ignored that Mayor Adams criticized the prior Administration’s immigration policies before the charges were filed.”

However, legal experts were quick to push back. NYU Law Professor Stephen Gillers dismissed Bove’s claims, calling them “a baseless and offensive slur” against the prosecutors. A federal law enforcement official went even further, labeling the decision “horrific” and “just transparent corruption.”

The case alleged Adams accepted $100,000 in bribes, including luxury trips from Turkish nationals. Adams has pleaded not guilty, claiming political persecution. Trump has hinted at a possible pardon, saying Adams was “treated pretty unfairly.”
