NEW York City Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption case has been tossed out after President Donald Trump intervened in the historic scandal.
A federal judge has dismissed the criminal case against Adams as of Wednesday, also preventing the Department of Justice from filing the same charges against him in the future.

This dramatic development comes after a series of tumultuous months, during which key deputies of Adams, along with senior prosecutors at the Department of Justice, resigned after the Trump administration requested that the corruption charges against the mayor be abandoned.
Adams, standing his ground, has strongly opposed demands for his resignation, even as multiple leading Democrats expressed worry over the allegations against the former mayor and pressed him to leave his position.
Now, Adams will be allowed to campaign for a second term without the threat of jail time.
The Department of Justice indicted Adams in September on bribery, campaign finance, and conspiracy offenses.
The homes of Adams, several of his top administration aides, as well as former high-ranking officials in the New York City Police Department, were raided by the FBI as part of its federal investigation.
Federal prosecutors accused Adams of taking bribes and soliciting illegal campaign contributions from foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official.
Adams claimed the charges against him were brought because he criticized former President Joe Biden on his handling of the migrant crisis in New York City.
After the indictment, Adams seemingly turned his back on his fellow Democratic constituents and has embraced President Donald Trump and his administration.
And in an unprecedented move in February, the Trump DOJ ordered the acting US attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Sassoon, to drop the case in return for Adams’ help addressing Trump’s immigration goals.
Sassoon, a career conservative Republican appointed by Trump in January, resigned instead of dropping the case.
