Summary

President Trump's Department of Justice is moving to dismiss federal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Mayor Adams plead 'not guilty' after being indicted in September on charges that included bribery and wire fraud relating to his campaign. Both Adams and the DOJ believe the case was politically motivated and hindered New York City's efforts to address illegal immigration. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with David Spunt, Washington D.C.-based correspondent covering the Department of Justice for the FOX News Channel, who breaks down the charges dismissed and what the DOJ is saying about the case.
