The prosecutors indicated that part of their case against Mayor Adams involves classified material that could endanger national security if disclosed, necessitating a confidential meeting.
Daniel Richman stated that the government seeking to discuss classified information does not mean the evidence is more damning, as foreign involvement can spread across various instances.
Mr. Spiro, Adams' lawyer, expressed confidence in the defense, stating he did not worry about the classified evidence, asserting there is no substantial proof of the charges.
Adams is facing five federal charges related to bribery and fraud, stemming from an investigation that commenced before his mayoral election, regarding illegal campaign donations.
