NEW YORK — The Justice Department failed to publicly disclose documents in the now-dismissed corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams by a Friday deadline, in apparent defiance of a court order.
The documents in question could shed light on the evidence and legal arguments prosecutors presented to a judge in order to obtain a search warrant in the investigation of the mayor, who is running for reelection. That material may be particularly revelatory because the public likely won’t see any other evidence related to the case, now that it has been dismissed.
U.S. District Judge Dale Ho had ordered the department to file copies of material related to the search warrants in the case on the public docket by May 2. Ho’s order instructed prosecutors to redact the names of law enforcement personnel and any unindicted subjects of the investigation.
By Saturday afternoon, the Justice Department hadn’t filed any documents on the public docket in response to Ho’s order, nor had prosecutors filed any motions or responses to the order. A spokesperson for the Justice Department didn’t respond to a request for comment.
