New York City Mayor Eric Adams has requested an earlier trial date in his federal corruption case, citing concerns that the current schedule would interfere with his 2025 reelection campaign.
Adams is facing charges related to bribery and straw donations, and his legal team is pushing for the trial to begin three weeks earlier than the current April 21 date. The mayor argues that resolving the case sooner would allow him to fully participate in his campaign efforts.
The request is now in the hands of a federal judge, who will decide whether to accommodate the change.
