Former US Solicitor General Paul Clement has advised that the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams be dismissed with prejudice. This recommendation follows a motion from the Trump administration's Department of Justice, which faced criticism for its implications. The dismissal motion, aimed to keep the door open for refiling, prompted backlash against Adams and led to a significant loss of prosecutors involved in the case, including interim leader Danielle Sassoon, who accused Adams and Trump's team of corruption.
Clement asserted that the charges against Mayor Adams should be dismissed definitively, emphasizing that the Department of Justice's arguments support dismissal with prejudice.
Smaller prosecutors' exodus from the case reflects a deeper concern regarding perceived political corruption and draws attention to the implications of Trump's DOJ actions.
