Eric Adams' case indefinitely adjourned by judge following DOJ request

A federal judge has indefinitely adjourned New York City Mayor Eric Adams' fraud criminal trial after last week's request from the Department of Justice.

“In light of the Government’s motion and the representations of the parties during the conference, it is clear that trial in this matter will not go forward on April 21,” U.S. District Judge Dale Ho wrote Friday.

While it is indefinitely adjourned, the case has not yet been dismissed as the Justice Department requested in a letter from acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove. Ho appointed a private attorney -- Paul Clement of Clement & Murphy PLLC -- to argue as amicus curiae against the government’s motion to dismiss the case.
