LOWER MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) — During a tense meeting early Monday morning, Mayor Eric Adams told leadership across city government not to criticize President Trump.
The meeting, first reported by The City, was confirmed by sources and Comptroller Brad Lander. Lander is a Democratic Primary opponent of the Mayor and was quick to critique Adams.
“Eric Adams instructed his city employees top to bottom to aid and abet his attempt to win a pardon from Donald Trump,” Lander said.

Reports of the meeting come as Adams, facing federal corruption charges, has said he will not criticize President Trump in public.

It has led critics of the mayor, including Lander, to say Adams is seeking intervention from Trump in his legal case.
The meeting inside the Dinkins municipal building was in part for his team to discuss a controversial memo sent by the city’s law department to public schools and other agencies.
The memo set off alarm bells for immigrant advocates. It said that despite NYC’s sanctuary status, city workers should let immigration officials into city buildings if they feared for their personal safety. Although much of the memo leading up to the controversial line was in accordance with sanctuary city policy.

Lander and State Senator Zellnor Myrie, another primary opponent— said the Mayor is failing to protect New Yorkers.
“We used to recognize how important it was for us to stand up for vulnerable New Yorkers,” Myrie said. “So what the mayor doing is wrong that guidance should be rescinded.”
Myrie was endorsed by NYC Congressman Dan Goldman on Monday, who cited Adams’s lack of standing up to Trump as one reason for backing Myrie.
The mayor’s office has been downplaying concerns around schools since the immigration raid began, even as attendance in schools has dipped.
Still, City Hall said it will release updated guidance to city agencies — about what to do with federal immigration authorities come to a city building.
Over the weekend, the Schools Chancellor recorded a video in an attempt to reassure families.

Top Justice Department official orders prosecutors to drop charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams​

NEW YORK (AP) — A top official at the U.S. Department of Justice has ordered federal prosecutors to drop charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat who has cultivated a warm relationship with President Donald Trump.
In a two-page memo obtained by The Associated Press, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, an alumnus of the Manhattan office that brought the case, said that the decision to dismiss the charges was reached without an assessment of the strength of the prosecution of the prosecution and was not meant to call into question the attorneys who filed the case.

But, Bove said, that the timing of the charges and “more recent actions” by the former U.S. attorney who led the office, Damian Williams, “have threatened the integrity of the proceedings, including by increasing prejudicial pretrial publicity that risks impacting potential witnesses and the jury pool.”
More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State
Bove also wrote that the pending prosecution has “unduly restricted” Adams’ ability to “devote full attention and resources to the illegal immigration and violent crime that has escalated under the policies of the prior Administration.”
The Justice Department’s order directs that the case be dismissed without prejudice, which conceivably means that it could be refiled later.
The development comes after months of speculation that Trump’s Justice Department would take steps to end the criminal case against Adams, who was accused of accepting bribes of free or discounted travel and illegal campaign contributions.
Trump had hinted at the possibility of a pardon in December, telling reporters that the mayor had been “treated pretty unfairly.” He had also claimed, without offering evidence, that Adams was being persecuted for criticizing former President Joe Biden’s policies on immigration.
After Trump’s inauguration, Adams’ lawyers had approached senior Justice Department officials, asking them to intervene and drop the case.
Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro, did not immediately return a request for comment. A mayoral spokesperson and a representative of his campaign all did not return inquiries.
After Adams was indicted in September, he shifted his tone on Trump, rankling some in his own party for his public praise of the Republican and his hardline immigration agenda.
The Democrat chastised people who called Trump a fascist. While he still said he was voting for Kamala Harris, Adams stopped saying the then-vice president’s name at public events, except when goaded by reporters.
Adams flew to Florida to meet with Trump on Jan. 17. Afterward, he said the two men hadn’t discussed his criminal case or the possibility of a pardon, but implied that Trump’s agenda would be better for New York than former President Joe Biden’s.
“I’m looking forward to the next four years of having a president that loves the city like I love this city,” Adams said the day after the meeting. He has denied doing anything illegal, and said the criticism of his overseas trips and deeply discounted first-class travel was unfair.

Trump, who was convicted last year of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment, has previously expressed solidarity with Adams.
“I know what it’s like to be persecuted by the DOJ, for speaking out against open borders,” Trump said in October at a Manhattan event attended by Adams. “We were persecuted, Eric. I was persecuted, and so are you, Eric.”
The criminal case against Adams involves allegations that he accepted illegal campaign contributions and lavish travel perks worth more than $100,000 — including expensive flight upgrades, luxury hotel stays and even a trip to a bathhouse — while serving in his previous job as Brooklyn Borough President.
The indictment said a Turkish official who helped facilitate the trips then leaned on Adams for favors, at one point asking him to lobby the Fire Department to allow a newly constructed, 36-story diplomatic building to open in time for a planned visit by Turkey’s president.
Prosecutors also said they had evidence of Adams personally directing campaign staffers to solicit foreign donations, then disguising those contributions in order to qualify for a city program that provides a generous, publicly-funded match for small dollar donations. Foreign nationals are banned from contributing to U.S. election campaigns under federal law.
The federal prosecutor who brough the charges, former U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, stepped down after Trump’s election victory. But as recently as Jan. 6th, prosecutors had indicated their investigation remained active, writing in court papers that they continued to “uncover additional criminal conduct by Adams.”
Federal agents had also been investigating other senior Adams aides. Prior to the mayor’s indictment, federal authorities seized phones from a police commissioner, schools chancellor, multiple deputy mayors and the mayor’s director of Asian Affairs. Each of those officials denied wrongdoing but have since resigned.
In December, Adams’ chief adviser and closest confidant, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, was indicted by a state prosecutor — the Manhattan district attorney — on charges that she and her son accepted $100,000 in bribes related to real estate construction projects.

Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday sought closure and vindication after what he called the “monthslong saga” of his federal corruption case, telling the public that “now we can put this cruel episode behind us and focus entirely on the future of our city.”
But the campaign-style speech belied the more complicated legal reality Adams faces under Monday's directive from the Department of Justice, which ordered federal prosecutors to drop the charges against him. Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York haven’t responded to the order yet, and it leaves open the possibility that Adams’ case could be revived.
“It's time to move forward,” Adams said during a six-minute livestreamed address, which was closed to reporters, barring the press from asking questions..
Read strictly, the Department of Justice's memo that surfaced late Monday only calls for a nine-month reprieve from charges that it says were politically motivated by Adams’ criticisms of former President Joe Biden’s handling of the migrant crisis. Both Adams and Trump have made the claim before, both without evidence.
The memo stipulates that the incoming U.S. attorney for the Southern District will review the case following the November election. Though it presents the order to drop the charges as part of an effort to restore the Department of Justice's credibility, suggesting that credibility slipped under the Biden administration, the order states that the department did not assess the merits of Adams’ individual case. The memo says it “in no way calls into question the integrity and efforts of the line prosecutors responsible” for the indictment.
Members of the city’s political circles connected the order’s conditional nature to its emphasis on Adams’ “ability to support critical, ongoing federal efforts” related to Trump's objective to deport high numbers of immigrants. The memo does not make clear how the mayor fits into those plans.

“It certainly sounds like President Trump is holding the mayor hostage,” the Rev. Al Sharpton, a close ally of Adams, said in a statement on Tuesday.
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, a critic of the mayor who would succeed Adams if he were removed from office, accused Adams of lying in his address to New Yorkers.
"The mayor is trying to sell misinformation to a city he’s already decided to sell out,” Williams said in a statement. The case, he added, “is not in fact over, it’s just being held over his head.”
Shekar Krishnan, a city councilmember from Queens, joined a growing chorus of critics questioning the mayor’s ability to govern.
“What commitments on local immigration policy has Mayor Adams made privately with President Trump?” he said.
The decision to order the dismissal of the five-count bribery indictment came after Adams spent months courting Trump, who has said he would consider pardoning the mayor. Critics have accused the mayor of putting his legal interests ahead of the city’s. Adams said he would not publicly criticize the president.

On Monday, Adams instructed city agency leaders not to criticize Trump either, warning that they could jeopardize billions in federal funding.
During his address on Tuesday, Adams acknowledged the cloud he still faces.
“Despite the fact that I am no longer facing legal questions, I also understand that many New Yorkers still question my character,” he said. “And I know that I must continue to regain your trust.”

7th prosecutor on Adams case resigns, slams Trump DOJ’s ‘dismissal-with-leverage’ gambit on way out: ‘Never going to be me’​

A seventh prosecutor resigned Friday rather than heed the Justice Department’s order to toss Mayor Eric Adams’ criminal case — and suggested only a “fool” or “coward” would comply on his way out.
Hagan Scotten — an assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York and the lead prosecutor on the case — said in a scathing resignation letter that dismissing the bribery, corruption and other charges against Adams was a “serious mistake” that keeps Hizzoner beholden to President Trump.
“Any assistant US attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way,” Scotten fumed.
“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion,” he added.
“But it was never going to be me.”

Scotten blasted the Trump DOJ’s “dismissal-with-leverage” proposal — admittedly made without considering how strong the evidence is that Adams took Turkish bribes — as an unlawful ploy to force the mayor to comply with Trump’s immigration agenda.

​

“No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or
the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy
objectives,” he wrote in the one-page missive.
The prosecutor and veteran, who served three combat tours in Iraq as a US Army Special Forces officer, added that he could understand how Trump, “whose background is in business and politics, might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal” — but that the DOJ lawyers should know better.
Scotten’s blistering memo came the day after the interim Manhattan US attorney, Danielle Sassoon, a Republican and former clerk for US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, resigned rather than obey the order to drop the case — while leaving the option open of resurrecting it after November.

In her own blistering resignation letter, Sassoon accused Adams of agreeing to follow Trump’s immigration orders as part of a “quid pro quo” deal to get his case dropped.
Trump’s Acting DOJ No. 2, Emil Bove, fired back with his own letter in which he claimed that the Adams case had been “politicized” and that prosecuting the mayor for taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions was “directly endangering the lives of millions of New Yorkers.”
“As a result of the pending prosecution, Mayor Adams is unable to communicate directly and candidly with City officials he is responsible for managing, as well as federal agencies trying to protect the public from national security threats and violent crime,” he wrote, as he accepted Sassoon’s resignation.

Scotten was one of four prosecutors on the case placed on administrative leave Thursday, according to Bove, who said they were being investigated by the US Attorney General’s Office in an internal probe that could lead to their “termination.”
The DOJ’s public integrity section in DC was tasked with taking over the case — but several prosecutors there resigned, too, on Thursday.

The acting chief, three deputy chiefs and a deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division who oversaw the section resigned, according to The Associated Press.

The case was still active and no motion to dismiss had been filed Friday.
Adams has pleaded not guilty to charges that he took $123,000 in travel perks from Turkish nationals in exchange for fast-tracking the opening of the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan.

3 NYC deputy mayors signal intent to resign from Adams admin following Trump DOJ order to drop case​

At least three of Mayor Eric Adams’ deputy mayors are eyeing the door in the wake of the Justice Department’s controversial move to toss Hizzoner’s historic corruption case — which critics say makes him beholden to President Trump, sources told The Post Monday.
First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres Springer, Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi, and Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams Isom had expressed a desire to resign from the Adams administration last week, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

The three senior aides all joined Hizzoner for a Zoom meeting on Sunday to discuss their looming exits, according to NBC, which first reported the potential departures.
The meeting was set up to try to convince the trio to stay quiet about — or at least delay — their plans to quit as calls began to mount for Adams himself to resign amid the ongoing DOJ saga, the sources said.


The aides are said to have already informed Adams of their apparent plans to leave his administration — effective from next month — during an in-person meeting at Gracie Mansion on Friday.
A fourth deputy mayor, Chauncey Parker, who oversees public safety, was also on the Sunday call and expressed a desire to cut ties with City Hall, per NBC’s sources.

It wasn’t immediately clear if an embattled Adams was successful in convincing his bigwigs to remain on board.
“As we always say, if and when we have personal announcements to make, we will make them,” City Hall spokeswoman, Kayla Mamelak, told The Post when asked about the meetings.
Details of the meetings emerged after federal prosecutors formally moved to toss the historic corruption case against Adams late Friday.

The motion to dismiss the case without prejudice — meaning it could be revived later on — followed a wave of resignations in protest of the DOJ’s orders for the case to be killed.
The filing, which marked the first formal step to halting Hizzoner’s criminal prosecution, cited, in part, alleged politically motivated prosecution by former Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams.
The three-page dismissal motion was signed by Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove and filed along with two other members of the DOJ’s DC office — just days after Bove issued the stunning directive to drop the case.
