The defense argued that the bribery charge against Adams is "extraordinarily vague" and that the allegations do not meet the legal definition of bribery.
Prosecutors allege Adams accepted over $100,000 in perks from Turkey, but his attorney claims he did not agree to perform an official act in exchange.
Spiro asserted that what Adams is accused of—assisting with a Turkish consulate’s safety inspection—was routine for city officials and not criminal.
The defense maintains that the allegations made against Adams involve normal and lawful activities, not the kind of official act required for bribery.
