Biden Judge Shocks, Dismisses Case Against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, Blasts DOJ

A federal judge ended the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday.

US District Judge Dale Ho, a Biden appointee, sent shockwaves after he dropped the DOJ’s case against Eric Adams.

The DOJ wanted to drop the federal charges against Adams without prejudice which means they could refile them in the future. Judge Ho dismissed the case without prejudice and ended the case permanently.

Judge Ho also blasted Trump’s DOJ officials and accused them of a quid pro quo.

“Everything here smacks of a bargain: dismissal of the Indictment in exchange for immigration policy concessions,” judge Ho wrote in his order.

“Taking a step back from the particulars of this case, DOJ’s immigration enforcement rationale is both unprecedented and breathtaking in its sweep,” the judge wrote, according to NBC News.

“DOJ cites no examples, and the Court is unable to find any, of the government dismissing charges against an elected official because doing so would enable the official to facilitate federal policy goals,” he said.

Adams was recently indicted on charges including wire fraud, bribery and conspiracy out of the Southern District of New York, becoming the first sitting New York City mayor to face criminal prosecution.

According to federal prosecutors, Adams accepted $10 million in illegal “straw” campaign contributions and bribes from foreign countries, including Turkey, Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea, and Uzbekistan, going back nearly a decade.

“For nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him,” the indictment reads.

In February, the Trump Justice Department moved to drop federal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

President Trump’s then-Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove instructed federal prosecutors in New York to drop the case.

Acting US Attorney for the SDNY Danielle Sassoon abruptly resigned just a few days after she was ordered to drop charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
