Mayor Eric Adams’ Legal Team Slams Ex-Prosecutor’s Op-Ed in Push to Dismiss Corruption Charges

Mayor Eric Adams is pursuing a new legal strategy to challenge his federal corruption indictment, raising eyebrows with a bold accusation against a former federal prosecutor. In a recent court filing, Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro, alleges that Damian Williams, the now-former U.S. Attorney, orchestrated the charges to bolster his own political aspirations, including a potential run for mayor of New York City.

“Mr. Williams brought a meritless case against a political rival to bolster his immediate candidacy for office, potentially including the mayoralty of New York City,” Spiro claimed.

The accusation centers on Williams’ alleged personal motives rather than the validity of the charges against Adams. Notably, Williams has made no public announcements about pursuing any political office.

Adams’ legal team highlighted a recent opinion piece by Williams, where he criticized the city’s leadership, stating it was being guided by a “broken ethical compass.” According to Spiro, such statements reveal bias and could potentially influence a jury, further complicating the mayor’s legal battle.

Meanwhile, Mayor Adams continues to navigate his responsibilities as New York City’s leader amid speculation surrounding his legal troubles. On Friday, Adams met with President-elect Donald Trump in Florida. However, Adams clarified that the meeting did not involve discussions about his legal case or the possibility of seeking a presidential pardon.

As the country prepares for Trump’s inauguration on Monday, Adams has yet to confirm whether he will attend the ceremony. Speaking during a winter storm briefing on Saturday, he emphasized the significance of the day, which coincides with Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. “I’m still deciding how I’ll proceed. My schedule changes daily, and once I finalize my plans, we’ll announce it. You won’t be surprised,” Adams stated.

With the legal battle heating up and questions about his next moves, Adams’ situation is a complex intersection of politics, justice, and leadership under scrutiny.
