Why is the federal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams being considered for dismissal?
The Department of Justice, now under Trump-aligned leadership, is requesting dismissal of the federal corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams under unusual circumstances. According to CBS News correspondent Scott McFarland, this unprecedented request is being made partly so Adams can resume collaborating with President Trump on immigration enforcement initiatives.
