Federal judge dismisses corruption case against New York City Mayor Adams

A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The judge in dismissing the case also denied prosecutors the ability to potentially bring the criminal case back after the mayoral election, according to The Associated Press.

Judge Dale E. Ho dismissed the case "with prejudice."

Adams was charged with federal bribery, conspiracy, and campaign finance offenses in September, but pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The Department of Justice formally requested in February that the corruption charges be dropped.
