Senior Justice Department officials under President Trump have discussed with Manhattan prosecutors the possibility of dropping the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, the NY times reports.
Adams, indicted in September on bribery and fraud charges, has pleaded not guilty and claims political persecution. His lawyer, Alex Spiro—who also represents Trump adviser Elon Musk—has been in talks with federal officials.
Amid legal troubles, Adams has warmed to Trump, attending his inauguration and speaking privately with him. Trump, who has hinted at a pardon, previously called Adams’ prosecution “pretty unfair.”

Eric Adams needs to be held accountable for destroying NYC, following in the footsteps of De Blasio (Warren Wilhelm).
