A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed the criminal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The DOJ originally asked the judge to toss the case “without prejudice,” which would have allowed prosecutors to refile charges against the Democrat in the future if the department chose to do so.
