A federal judge has dismissed New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption case. Judge Dale E. Ho on Wednesday granted the Justice Department’s extraordinary request to set aside criminal charges so the mayor could aid President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

A federal judge dismissed the criminal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The case was dismissed "with prejudice," which means the Department of Justice is permanently barred from resurrecting the charges against Adams based on the same evidence used in the case.

The Justice Department’s push to end the bribery case at President Trump’s behest caused a rift between its leadership in Washington and prosecutors in New York.
