A federal judge on Friday hit the brakes on dismissing Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption case.
In a Friday ruling, Federal District Judge Dale Ho canceled Adams’ April 21 trial without tossing the case out in its entirety. Instead of granting the motion to dismiss the charges sought by President Trump’s Justice Department, Ho appointed an independent attorney—Paul Clement of the law firm Clement & Murphy PLLC—to present an independent argument on the motion.
