Eric Adams channels Trump as he ramps up revenge accusations against the Biden admin, expert says
Fox News
Mark Chutkow pointed to a pair of defense motions asking the court to investigate a series of DOJ leaks that the defense says has damaged Adams' public image and compromises his right to a fair trial.
Although Trump's New York trial took place in state court, prosecuted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office and not the U.S. Department of Justice, there was a strong perception that the charges were politically motivated. And critics have raised similar concerns about the investigation by special counsel Jack Smith.
Chutkow pointed to a pair of defense motions that he said were filed "extremely fast" — the mayor's motion to dismiss the bribery charge against him and a motion asking the court to investigate a series of Justice Department leaks that the defense says has damaged Adams' public image and compromises his right to a fair trial.
