New York City Mayor Eric Adams saw the charges against him dropped with prejudice, meaning they cannot be reopened AFP A US judge on Wednesday permanently dismissed corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, weeks after President Donald Trump's administration pushed to stop the unprecedented prosecution.
