A federal judge has dismissed the corruption indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The ruling was made Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho, of the Southern District of New York, Fox News reported.

The case was dismissed without prejudice. This means the case cannot be filed again.

The charges stem from when the Biden administration alleged Adams used his position as mayor to gain illegal campaign contributions and travel from foreign dignitaries from Turkey. 

The Trump-led DOJ sought the judge to drop the case. However, Ho said wanted the time to make the right decision.

“The case against Eric Adams should have never been brought in the first place—and finally today that case is gone forever,” Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro, said. “From Day 1, the mayor has maintained his innocence and now justice for Eric Adams and New Yorkers has prevailed.”

The motion to dismiss made sure to ask for the case to be dismissed without prejudice.

“Continuing these proceedings would interfere with” Adams’ ability to do his duties as mayor.

“In light of DOJ’s rationales, dismissing the case without prejudice would create the unavoidable perception that the Mayor’s freedom depends on his ability to carry out the immigration enforcement priorities of the administration, and that he might be more beholden to the demands of the federal government than to the wishes of his own constituents,” Ho wrote Wednesday. “That appearance is inevitable, and it counsels in favor of dismissal with prejudice.”
