The judge overseeing the corruption case against Eric Adams has dismissed the charges against the New York City mayor, and in a split with the Trump Justice Department, ordered that the charges cannot be brought again.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams' federal corruption case was formally dropped Wednesday, months after he became the city's first mayor to be indicted.

The corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams was dismissed by a U.S. district judge with prejudice.

The judge’s decision, which ends the case as Adams seeks reelection, also discredited the rationale of a top Justice Department official for pursuing the dismissal.

New York City Eric Adams will seek reelection as an Independent. The announcement comes the day after corruption charges against him were dropped.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Thursday that he would run for reelection as an independent, not as a Democrat as he did in his first, successful mayoral bid. The announcement came a day after a federal judge dismissed corruption charges against the former New York City police captain.
