The federal judge in Mayor Eric Adams‘ corruption case scheduled a Feb. 19 hearing in which President Trump’s Justice Department must explain its reasons for moving to drop the charges against Hizzoner last week.
Federal District Judge Dale Ho, in a Tuesday filing, ordered that DOJ officials, Adams, and his legal team attend the hearing, set for 2 p.m. on Wednesday at the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse in Lower Manhattan. He also ordered that Adams provide his written consent to the DOJ’s motion to dismiss the charges by 5 p.m. Tuesday.
