New York City Mayor Eric Adams vows to regain the public’s trust after the Justice Department halts his criminal corruption case. The directive will allow him to assist in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Adams expressed eagerness to move on from the ordeal and focus on the future of the city. Critics, including Rev. Al Sharpton, accuse Adams of being beholden to the Trump administration’s agenda. Acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon now faces the task of carrying out the order to dismiss the charges, with the possibility of refiling them after the November mayoral election. Adams’ lawyer, Alex Spiro, claimed the order vindicated the mayor’s innocence. The indictment against Adams alleges he accepted illegal campaign contributions and lavish travel perks. Many of his Democratic opponents criticized the decision to shut down the case, accusing Adams of aligning with Trump for personal preservation. The unusual conditions attached to the memo have raised uncertainty over when the charges will be officially dismissed.
