Trump's DOJ seeking week extension after defying court order to make Mayor Adams corruption case documents public
Share this @internewscast.com

The US Department of Justice plans to request a federal judge on Saturday for an additional week to unseal documents related to the dismissed corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams, following a missed deadline, the agency informed The Post.

The documents, intended to offer the public a detailed view of Adams’ prosecution, were due to be disclosed by 11:59 p.m. on Friday. However, the DOJ did not comply with Manhattan federal Judge Dale Ho’s order.

The DOJ announced on Saturday its intention to release the evidence and documents for public scrutiny by May 9. The agency aims to use the extension period to review the materials to potentially redact any information deemed unsuitable for public disclosure.

Ho last week sided with The Post and other news outlets that demanded access to the documents, which include a warrant for Hizzoner’s cellphone that was seized by federal agents on a Big Apple street.

The judge dismissed the federal criminal case against Adams in April, saying it would ensure the prosecution couldn’t be held over the mayor’s head by the Trump administration as he runs the city.

Ho’s ruling broke with the Department of Justice, which sought to halt the case for the time being, but wanted to keep the ability to resurrect it in the future.

Adams had faced a five-count indictment, including bribery and fraud, accusing him of pocketing more than $100,000 in illegal campaign contributions and travel perks from people seeking to buy influence with him, including a Turkish official.

He has denied any wrongdoing.
