Justice Dept. Is Said to Discuss Dropping Case Against Eric Adams https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/us/politics/justice-department-trump-charges-eric-adams.html?unlocked_article_code=1.s04.bndu.XFy9_PHDZPEF
The officials have also spoken to Mr. Adams’s defense team since Mr. Trump took office, the people said. The defense team is led by Alex Spiro, who is also the personal lawyer for Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and one of the president’s closest advisers.
Mr. Adams was indicted in September on charges including bribery, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign contributions after an investigation that began in 2021. He has pleaded not guilty, maintained his innocence and contended that he is being prosecuted because he criticized the Biden administration.

On the other hand, the charges may have been bogus all along as highly visible Black men/women quite often seem to become targeted by LEO departments.
