A federal judge in Manhattan has granted the Trump Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the corruption indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The judge, however, has rejected the DOJ’s effort to hold the potential reinstatement of the charges over Adams’s head like a sword of Damocles. The dismissal of the case is with prejudice, meaning the corruption charges in the indictment may not be revived in the future.
Judge Dale Ho, a Biden appointee to the court in the Southern District of New York (SDNY), explained his ruling in a 78-page opinion and order issued on Wednesday morning.
