“A Justice Department official told a federal judge Wednesday that granting its request to dismiss corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams was his only option after the Democrat said under oath that ‘no other agreement’ was made with the government in return for the charges being dropped. Judge Dale E. Ho ended Wednesday’s hearing by saying he wouldn’t ‘shoot from the hip’ and rule immediately but was aware that ‘it’s not in anyone’s interest here for this to drag on.’ Adams appeared in high spirits during the more the 80-minute hearing …. the judge asked Deputy U.S. Attorney General Emil Bove, who represented the government, whether he thought he could consider a written submission by three former U.S. attorneys and a separate one by a former Watergate prosecutor in making his decision.” (02/19/25)
