Mayoral candidate condemns dismissal of corruption charges against Adams

On Wednesday, Jamaican-American New York City Mayoral Candidate, the Rev. Michael Blake, condemned a federal judge’s dismissal of corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

On Wednesday, Manhattan Federal Judge Dale Ho dismissed “with prejudice” the sweeping public corruption charges against Adams, ruling that “There may or may not be good reasons to drop this prosecution. But the reasons articulated by DOJ (President Donal J. Trump’s Department of Justice), if taken at face value, are inconsistent with a decision to leave the charges in the Indictment hanging like the proverbial Sword of Damocles over the mayor.”
