New York City Mayor Eric Adams' federal corruption case has been sensationally dismissed.
The mayor's case was ordered to be dropped with prejudice on Wednesday by Judge Dale Ho in a bombshell ruling.
Ho explained in his ruling: 'To be clear, the Court again emphasizes that it does not express any opinion as to the merits of the case or whether the prosecution of Mayor Adams 'should' move forward.
'The Court notes only that it has no authority to require that it continue.
'Ultimately, because the decision to discontinue a prosecution belongs primarily to a political branch of government, it is the public’s judgment, and not this Court’s, that truly matters.'
It comes days after President Trump ordered his Justice Department to push prosecutors in Manhattan to drop the case against Adams.
