His own people demand his resignation, New York mayor defends relationship with
Eric Adams and Trump

New York City Mayor Eric Adams asked a federal judge on Wednesday to dismiss the corruption case against him, alleging prosecutorial misconduct, even as the Justice Department seeks to dismiss the charges against the Democrat running for a second term.

In documents filed in Manhattan federal court, Democrat Adams' lawyers allege prosecutorial misconduct after the leak of a letter that then-prosecutor Danielle Sassoon sent to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi explaining why the charges should not be dismissed.

Among other things, in her letter, Sassoon submitted her resignation because she could not accept the instruction of the acting Deputy Attorney General, Emil Bove, to drop the charges against the Democratic mayor two weeks ago.

Bove had written a letter to Ms. Sassoon, stressing Mr. Adams' importance in helping President Trump's law enforcement priorities, particularly in the fight against illegal immigration and violent crime. He also said the allegations were interfering with this year's mayoral race.

Even President Donald Trump has come to Mr. Adams' defense.

"I thought it was very political," President Trump said.

Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams insisted he will "talk to whoever he wants," while defending his relationship with President Trump and signaling that the Big Apple will work with the White House to implement its online registry of illegal immigrants.

He lashed out at critics amid calls from the left for him to resign over his willingness to work with the White House on the border crisis — in ways that would help the Trump administration dismiss the federal corruption case against him.

"There's a level of buffoonery going on, that's spreading as fast as COVID. 'Well, well, you shouldn't talk to the president,'" Adams said, referring to the critics, but without naming them.

"I'm the mayor of the largest city in America. I'll talk to whoever I want to bring services to your city," he said, as it went viral.


The indictment filed in September by Manhattan prosecutors against Adams accuses him of receiving more than $100,000 in illegal campaign contributions and travel tickets from a Turkish official and others seeking to buy influence while the Democrat was a top official in Brooklyn.

Adams faces multiple opponents in the Democratic primary in June. He has insisted he is innocent.
