New York mayor vows to regain public's trust after Justice Department orders halt to prosecution

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams vowed to regain the public’s trust Tuesday as the Justice Department moved to halt his criminal corruption case, an extraordinary directive that officials said would free him up to assist in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. In his first public comments since federal prosecutors were ordered to drop the case, Adams said he was eager to “put this cruel episode behind us and focus entirely on the future of this city.” He did not mention President Donald Trump by name but praised the Justice Department for its “honesty,” adding that he would “never put any personal benefit above my solemn responsibility as your mayor.” The mayor’s brief address at City Hall came one day after acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove told federal prosecutors in Manhattan to dismiss the bribery charges “as soon as is practicable.” AP AUDIO: New York mayor vows to regain public’s trust after Justice Department orders halt to prosecution AP correspondent Julie Walker reports New York’s Mayor thanks Trump’s Justice Department for ordering the local case against him dismissed. “As I said from the outset, I never broke the law and I never would.” Federal prosecutors charged Adams in September with accepting illegal campaign contributions and lavish travel perks worth more than $100,000 — including expensive flight upgrades and luxury hotel stays — while serving in his previous job as Brooklyn borough president. Just last week, federal prosecutors said City Hall’s chief liaison to the Muslim community would plead guilty to collecting illegal campaign contributions on behalf of the Adams campaign.
