Mayor Eric Adams' attorney Alex Spiro announced that the mayor's corruption case has been closed following the Department of Justice's directive to drop the charges. However, the DOJ issued this directive 'without prejudice,' allowing the possibility of charges being reinstated later. This has raised concerns among politicians about Adams' political dependency on Trump. The allegations against Adams included accepting illegal campaign donations and luxury travel perks. Spiro expressed confidence that the case would not be resurrected when reviewed again in November after the mayoral election.
During a Wednesday morning news conference, defense attorney Alex Spiro claimed the corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams is now closed, despite the Department of Justice's caveat.
Spiro's assertion that the case is closed contrasts sharply with the DOJ's decision to allow the Southern District of New York to revisit the charges at any time.
