New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s historic federal corruption case has been officially dismissed. After making a statement, Adams held up a copy of Government Gangsters, a book by the new FBI Director Kash Patel.
“Read it and understand how we can never allow this to happen to another innocent American,” Adams said.
Judge Dale Ho granted the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) request to drop the charges “with prejudice,” meaning Adams cannot be re-tried on the same charges in the future. This stipulation was a key part of the DOJ’s initial motion to dismiss the case.
Following the ruling, Adams made a public statement reaffirming his dedication to the people of New York City.
“I have always been solely beholden to the people of this city. No special interests, no political opponents, but just everyday New Yorkers,” Adams stated.
Are Government Gangsters Bringing Charges?
Last September, federal prosecutors alleged that Adams had engaged in corrupt activities for nearly a decade.
He was accused of soliciting illegal campaign donations from wealthy foreigners and corporations, including a Turkish government official.
