A federal judge said Wednesday that he would deliberate on whether to grant the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss Mayor Eric Adams’ federal corruption case after hearing arguments from both Adams’ attorney and a top DOJ official.
U.S. District Court Judge Dale Ho put both acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove and Adams’ criminal defense attorney, Alex Spiro, through a bevy of questions during a Wednesday afternoon hearing in Manhattan federal court aimed at assessing why the charges are being dropped.
