Judge signals he’s taking time to decide on dropping Adams charges

Judge Dale Ho did not immediately rule on the motion to dismiss corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, saying: "I'm not going to shoot from the hip right here on the bench."

Bove said Adams' legal situation had "restricted" his ability to address "illegal immigration and violent crime" in New York City, while the former lead prosecutor alleged a quid pro quo between Adams and Trump over immigration policies.
