NEW YORK, Feb 21 (Reuters) - A New York judge on Friday said he would not immediately dismiss New York Mayor Eric Adams' corruption case, but ordered his trial delayed indefinitely after the Justice Department asked him to dismiss charges.
In a written ruling, U.S. District Judge Dale Ho in Manhattan said he would appoint an outside lawyer, Paul Clement of the law firm Clement & Murphy PLLC, to present arguments against the prosecutors' bid to dismiss to help him make a decision.
