Big news out of New York City: the Justice Department might be dropping its corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams. Senior officials under President Trump have reportedly been in talks with Manhattan prosecutors about walking away from the charges.

The case, which started in 2021, accuses Adams of bribery, fraud, and accepting illegal campaign donations from foreign sources. The mayor has denied all allegations, arguing that the charges are politically motivated because he criticized the Biden administration.

Here’s where things get interesting. Adams’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, also represents Elon Musk, who’s become a close confidant of President Trump. Since Trump took office, Adams seems to have been cozying up to the president. The mayor recently visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and attended his inauguration. He’s even said he’ll keep his criticisms of Trump private from now on.

Trump has hinted that he’s considering a pardon for Adams, calling the charges “pretty unfair.” The two have reportedly been in regular contact over the past few weeks.

While the Justice Department hasn’t confirmed anything yet, this development could be a game-changer for Adams’s future. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
