Here’s what The Hill reported:

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) plugged FBI Director Kash Patel’s book on the “deep state” at the end of his remarks reacting to the corruption case against him officially being dropped.

Adams said in his remarks on Wednesday that the case against him should never have been brought and maintained that he didn’t do anything wrong. He said New Yorkers stop him “all the time” trying to find the rationale for why charges were brought, and he found the rationale in Patel’s book, “Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for our Democracy.”

“I’m going to encourage every New Yorker to read it,” he said. “Read it and understand how we can never allow this to happen to another innocent American.”

Adams’s move is just the latest in a string of comments he has made and steps he has taken tying himself to President Trump and those around him. He has for months claimed without evidence that he was indicted on charges including bribery and wire fraud for political reasons as he criticized the Biden administration’s immigration policy.
Trump has similarly claimed he was indicted in politically motivated cases.

Adams has said his willingness to work with Trump is looking out for the best interest of his constituents, but Democrats have been alarmed by his relationship with the president and questioned his motives.

Per ABC News:

Judge Dale Ho dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be revived.

The Justice Department sought to have the case dismissed to free up Adams to cooperate with the mayor’s immigration agenda, however, the department wanted the case dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be brought again.
