A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed the bribery case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams , ending a weekslong saga that prompted a number of federal prosecutors to resign and created a rift within the Justice Department.

In a 78-page written ruling, Ho said he was dismissing the case in part because he had no power to compel the Department of Justice to prosecute the case. But by prohibiting the indictment from being renewed, it ensured that the prospect of future charges “cannot be used as leverage over Mayor Adams or the City of New York,” he added. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan last year charged Adams, a Democrat, with bribery, fraud and campaign-finance offenses in a five-count indictment.

Mangione, 26 years old, faces state and federal charges in the murder of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Brian Thompson last year. Prosecutors have accused Mangione of waiting outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel where the executive was set to attend an investor meeting. Mangione shot Thompson with a 3D-printed ghost gun, prosecutors said, then fled the scene on an e-bike. Following a nearly weeklong manhunt, he was arrested after being spotted at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania.

“The greatest comeback story in America is about to happen,” added Milton. The White House on Friday confirmed that the pardon had been granted. A federal jury in Manhattan convicted Milton in 2022 of one count of securities fraud and two counts of wire fraud. During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Milton as a con man who duped investors, including in podcasts and on social media, about the company’s sales and the capabilities of its vehicles.
