Judge vacates Eric Adams corruption trial but doesn’t immediately dismiss charges

A federal judge declined the Department of Justice's request to dismiss the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, stating that the motion had not been adequately tested by argument.
Judge Dale Ho appointed Paul Clement to present opposing arguments as the Department of Justice's actions have caused concern within its ranks, leading to the resignation of eight federal prosecutors.
Dale Ho emphasized the importance of careful deliberation in significant cases and scheduled briefs to be submitted by March 7, with a possible hearing on March 14.
During a recent hearing, Adams denied any wrongdoing or quid pro quo arrangements related to the case.
