Mayor Eric Adams’ legal team went on the offensive Tuesday, filing a legal motion accusing federal prosecutors of leaking privileged grand jury evidence to the press over the past year and asking the court to intervene with disciplinary action and dismiss the case.
The mayor’s lawyers argue in the filing that the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) breached its ethical and legal obligations by leaking “most of the details of the indictment” to the press before they brought the charges against the mayor.
