The DOJ decision came after weeks of speculation that Adams had been speaking with Trump about handling his federal criminal case, and Adams was seen socializing with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
On Monday, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove directed that the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York to drop the federal case against Adams and dismiss it without prejudice.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams considered running for reelection as a Republican in the spring, according to a report.
You’re obviously calling for more than that,” Rendino said, adding that Adams then asked him about the process of running in the Republican primary.
Adams was advised by Rendino that he could either join the party or seek a waiver to run in both Democratic and Republican primaries.
