The case will be dismissed without prejudice, meaning it can be refiled at a later date.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has directed federal prosecutors to drop charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, who was accused of accepting illegal campaign contributions and lavish travel perks.

Bove stated in a two-page memo dated Feb. 10 that the decision to dismiss is based on the timing of the charges and recent public actions by the former U.S. attorney who initiated the case.

Specifically, Bove wrote that these actions have jeopardized the fairness of the proceedings, particularly by generating prejudicial pretrial publicity that could influence witnesses and the jury pool.

Additionally, Bove noted that the decision to drop the charges was reached without an assessment of the strength of the prosecution and was not meant to call into question the attorneys who had filed the case.

The case will be dismissed without prejudice, meaning it can be refiled at a later date.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
