Tomorrow at 2:00pm, Federal Judge Dale Ho will hold a hearing requiring both the Trump Department of Justice and Adams' legal team to appear. The DOJ must explain their reasoning for wanting to drop these charges. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hochul is weighing whether to use her power to remove Adams from office amid mounting pressure.
