Who is the next U.S. Attorney for New York and what makes him notable in relation to Mayor Adams' case?

The next U.S. Attorney expected to take over is Jay Clayton, who is highly regarded in the New York legal community. According to former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., Clayton is considered an extremely honest person who will likely approach the review of Mayor Adams' corruption case with integrity. Clayton will face Senate confirmation hearings before assuming his position, at which point he will be responsible for deciding how to proceed with the case that is currently being held without dismissal. Vance expressed confidence that Clayton will handle his responsibilities true to the oath he will take if confirmed, suggesting he will make decisions based on ethical principles rather than political considerations.
