💨 Abstract

Federal agents investigating New York City Mayor Eric Adams were seizing phones and applying for search warrants until the Justice Department ordered the case's dismissal. The investigation began in 2021, with Adams charged in 2024 for accepting improper campaign contributions. Notably, the new Justice Department leadership under President Donald Trump directed prosecutors to drop the charges, alleging the case hindered Adams' ability to help with immigration crackdowns.
