Eric Adams lawyers seek to dismiss charges with prejudice
Fox News
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has asked a judge to dismiss with prejudice all corruption charges against him after the Justice Department moved to drop their case.
In the new filing, Adams' legal team asked Judge Ho to grant the Justice Department's request to drop charges swiftly and prejudice, arguing that the actions by prosecutors had violated multiple statutory and court rules, including long-established Justice Department policies aimed at curbing prosecutorial misconduct.

They also cited the "extraordinary" amount of leaked information from prosecutors that they argued would have violated Adams' right to a fair trial; noting in particular a Feb. 12 resignation letter by former acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, which lawyers said would have "destroyed whatever presumption of innocence Mayor Adams had left."
