Why are both Eric Adams and the government seeking dismissal of the case against him?

Eric Adams and the federal government are both seeking dismissal of the case, which requires the judge's approval. The Department of Justice needs the court's permission to dismiss the charges, prompting this hearing where both sides must present their arguments for dismissal. The judge wants to assess the Justice Department's reasoning, particularly examining whether there was a 'quid pro quo' as previously alleged. The hearing is essentially about the judge making an independent assessment of the dismissal request before rendering a decision.
