NYC Now Explains: Why Prosecutors Revolted Over the Adams Case

NYC Now is back this weekend with part five in its series on Mayor Eric Adams and how he has found himself at the mercy of intersecting political powers — from his voter base, to the courts, to Governor Kathy Hochul, and, of course, President Donald Trump. This week, host Janae Pierre and WNYC reporter Samantha Max take a deep dive into the chaotic decision to drop the mayor’s corruption case and the resulting revolt among federal prosecutors. And we look at the institution at the center of it all: the Southern District of New York. We examine its history, its fiercely guarded independence, and how the Adams case could undermine its future.NOTES:
