The federal judge overseeing the criminal case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams ordered the mayor and federal prosecutors to appear in court on Wednesday to discuss the Trump administration’s effort to drop the case, a move that has sparked a crisis within the Justice Department and chaos within the Adams administration.
U.S. District Judge Dale Ho wrote in an order Tuesday that Adams, his lawyers and prosecutors should be prepared to discuss prosecutors’ rationale for seeking to dismiss the case, the reasons for Adams’ agreement to do so and the procedure for resolving the motion.
