Why was the prosecution against Mayor Eric Adams dropped according to Deputy Attorney General Emil Bovey?

According to Deputy Attorney General Emil Bovey, the prosecution against Mayor Eric Adams was dropped because it was restricting the mayor's ability to effectively govern. Specifically, Bovey stated that the legal proceedings were hampering Adams' capacity to combat illegal immigration and violent crime in New York City. This decision reflects concerns about governance continuity in a major metropolitan area, suggesting the Justice Department prioritized the city's immediate security needs over pursuing the corruption charges against the mayor.
