Embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been ordered to appear Wednesday before a federal judge in Manhattan with Department of Justice officials to address the federal government’s motion to dismiss his criminal charges.

U.S. District Judge Dale Ho, who is overseeing Adams’ federal corruption case, said in an order Tuesday that he has not received Adams’ written consent to the dismissal and that a court, in considering such a request, “must have sufficient factual information supporting the recommendation.”

“The parties shall be prepared to address, [among other things], the reasons for the Government’s motion,” as well as “the scope and effect“ of Adams’ consent, Ho said in his court order.

The Justice Department last week ordered federal prosecutors in Manhattan to drop Adams’ corruption case to ensure his cooperation with President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

The decision was made “without assessing the strength of the evidence” against Adams, acting Deputy Attorney General and former Trump attorney Emil Bove III said in a letter requesting the dismissal without prejudice, meaning the case could be brought again in the future.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, meanwhile, has said she is considering removing Adams from office after four of his top deputies resigned due to the DOJ’s involvement.

She said she will meet with key leaders on Tuesday “for a conversation about the path forward.”

Adams faces charges of bribery, fraud, soliciting illegal foreign campaign contributions and conspiracy. He has denied any wrongdoing.
