The defense is suggesting what Mayor Eric Adams is accused of doing is routine, not criminal.
Monday, September 30, 2024 11:57PMPart of the indictment against Mayor Eric Adams should be dismissed because the "alleged conduct does not support the bribery charge," his attorney said Monday after filing a motion to dismiss the count.
During a news conference at his law firm, Spiro also faulted the rest of the case against Adams, insisting there is no evidence of fraud or conspiracy and saying of the prosecutors "they have lots of law books and very little real word experience."Spiro will also fight the other charges involving fraud and conspiracy because he says there was no campaign scheme among Adams and his staff.
But prosecutors allege that Adams' 2021 campaign reaped "over $10 million in Matching Funds based on the false certifications" of donations. Adams has told his constituents that he plans to continue governing the city as he hopes to fight the federal charges accusing him of crimes from bribery, wire fraud and accepting improper campaign donations.
