A federal judge dismissed New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption case on Wednesday, agreeing it was the only practical outcome while blasting the Justice Department’s “troubling” rationale for wanting the charges thrown out — namely so the Democrat could help President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams' federal corruption case was formally dropped Wednesday, months after he became the city's first mayor to be indicted.

It followed a request by the Justice Department so the Democrat could help with President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

The judge’s decision, which ends the case as Adams seeks reelection, also discredited the rationale of a top Justice Department official for pursuing the dismissal.

The Trump DOJ sought to dismiss the case against the Democratic mayor “without prejudice,” meaning it wanted the option to revive the case in the future.

"Everything here smacks of a bargain," wrote SDNY Judge Dale E. Ho in his decision to dismiss the charges against Mayor Adams

U.S. District Judge Dale Ho dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the charges cannot be refiled at a later date.
