Investing.com -- A New York judge has decided not to dismiss the corruption case against Eric Adams, the Democratic mayor of New York City, but has put the trial on hold for an indefinite period. This decision was made on Friday, after the U.S. Justice Department requested the charges be dropped.
U.S. District Judge Dale Ho, based in Manhattan, announced that he would appoint an external attorney, Paul Clement of Clement & Murphy PLLC, to present arguments against the prosecutors' proposal for dismissal. The judge hopes that this step will aid him in making a final decision on the matter. The timing for when these arguments will be presented and when the decision will be made remains unclear.
