    Vice President Vance said Thursday that billionaire Elon Musk will remain a “friend and an adviser” to the White House after Musk departs from his role as a special government employee next month.

    “Of course he is going to continue being an adviser. And by the way, the work of DOGE is not even close to done. The work of Elon is not even close to done,” Vance told “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones in an interview.

    “DOGE has got a lot of work to do. And yeah, that work is going to continue after Elon leaves,” Vance continued. “But fundamentally, Elon is going to remain a friend and an adviser of both me and the president. And he’s done a lot of good things. People don’t realize how vast and uncontrolled the bureaucracy was. We’ve started to chip away at it, but there’s a lot of work to do. It’s not going to happen all in six months, it’s going to take a long and committed effort.”

    A ​Wednesday report indicated that Elon Musk is preparing to step down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration. President Donald Trump reportedly informed his inner circle and Cabinet members of Musk’s impending departure, with both parties agreeing that Musk will soon return to focus on his business ventures.

    Musk’s tenure at DOGE has been marked by ambitious cost-cutting measures aimed at reducing federal spending by $1 trillion. While many view these efforts as successful, they have also sparked controversy, leading to widespread protests and legal challenges.

    The exact timeline for Musk’s departure remains unspecified, but it’s anticipated to coincide with the conclusion of his special government employee status, which has a 130-day limit. Despite stepping back from his official role, Musk is expected to maintain an informal advisory relationship with the administration.

    This development comes amid reports of tensions within Trump’s inner circle regarding Musk’s prominent role in the administration. Some aides have expressed concerns about his influence and the potential political implications of his actions.

    On Capitol Hill, Musk is increasingly viewed as a political liability by congressional Republicans, despite his alignment with aspects of the Trump’s America First agenda.

    While Musk’s efforts to streamline government spending and slash bureaucracy through the Department DOGE have earned him praise from certain fiscal conservatives and right-wing populists, others within the GOP—particularly traditionalists and establishment figures—have expressed concern over his:

    -Controversial public statements and social media presence, which have drawn negative attention and created unnecessary distractions.

    -Growing political influence, which some fear undermines the White House’s messaging or creates the impression of a tech billionaire running government policy.

    -Business entanglements, which raise questions about conflicts of interest as he juggles leadership roles in Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter) and Neuralink.

    Privately, even some Trump aides have reportedly grown wary of Musk’s visibility and the potential backlash from swing voters or moderate Republicans who view him as polarizing or self-serving.

    That said, Musk still commands a loyal following among many conservative voters—especially those aligned with anti-woke, pro-free speech and populist sentiments.

    While there is no direct evidence linking the report of Musk’s impending departure from the Trump administration to Tuesday night’s Republican underperformance in Florida’s special congressional elections or the 10-point defeat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, the timing is politically notable.

    Republicans are beginning to question whether the administration’s focus on high-profile, unconventional figures like Musk has distracted from core electoral priorities. Others point to a broader concern: that the Trump team may be drifting out of sync with key voter blocs, including suburban moderates and independents, particularly in swing states like Wisconsin.

    The Florida results, in districts Trump carried comfortably in 2024, and the surprising margin in Wisconsin, suggest potential cracks in turnout strategy or messaging—something Musk’s polarizing profile could exacerbate, at least among voters wary of his influence.

    While not officially linked, yesterday’s underwhelming Republican electoral performances may be fueling pressure on the president to recalibrate, and Musk’s exit could be part of that reset.

    Dem Publicly Admits She Was DEI Hire For Public Defender Job In Stunning Display: Watch

    Democrat lawmaker Jasmine Crockett‘s comments have landed her in the spotlight once again…

    On Wednesday, the Texas Democrat appeared to brag that her being Black was a leading contributor to getting hired as a public defender with no experience. 

    Crockett relayed the story during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight meeting on corruption in the FBI under the Biden administration. She used it as an argument to defend diversity in law enforcement.

    “When I first became a public defender, I had no criminal defense experience. I walked in, and I told my boss, Charlie, I said, ‘Listen, you should hire me.’ He said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘Because I’m Black.’ Charlie looked at me like I was crazy,” Crockett said.

    She continued, “And I said, ‘Let me tell you something. When I walk in, I’m going to walk in with a level of rapport and understanding that maybe some of my other colleagues will not.’ Charlie offered me my job, and I worked my butt off and I worked really, really hard for all of my clients, not just those that look like me. That is what it looks like to serve.”

    During the hearing, Crockett also defended the need for DEI in the criminal justice system, so victims see law enforcement who look like them.

    “We want somebody to show up, and we don’t want them to look at us and act as if just because I’m Black or because I’m a woman that I am not worthy of having that case investigated,” Crockett said. 

    She added, “Because we have an administration that is continuously railing against diversity, equity or inclusion or we don’t need people that show up that feel like diversity should not be valued. That is why we should have somebody that may show up and looks like me.” 

    Public defenders are lawyers appointed to provide legal representation to people who can’t afford their own attorneys.

    Rep. Crockett’s comments immediately caused a stir on social media:

    Townhall Media Senior Editor Matt Vespa remarked, “This woman is a cartoon character.”

    The Texas Democrat has been under fire recently over her stunning comments targeting the Lone Star State’s governor. (RELATED: Jasmine Crockett Says She’s Rooting For Canada, Mexico)

    Speaking at the Human Rights Campaign‘s 2025 Los Angeles dinner, Crockett cracked a joke that immediately set off a wave of criticism. “We in these hot ass Texas streets, honey. Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there,” she said, referencing Abbott’s wheelchair. “And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot ass mess, honey!” (RELATED: Jasmine Crockett Says She’s Rooting For Canada, Mexico)

    Abbott, a Republican, was paralyzed in 1984 after a tree fell on him while jogging in Houston. The accident left him in a wheelchair, but it didn’t stop him from climbing the ranks of Texas politics—first as attorney general, then governor. He’s held that office since 2015.

    Trump Purges National Security Team Amid Loyalty Concerns Following Oval Office Meeting With Laura Loomer

    President Donald Trump has dismissed several senior officials from the National Security Council (NSC) following an Oval Office meeting with controversial activist Laura Loomer. During yesterday’s meeting, first reported Thursday, Loomer presented a list of individuals she claimed were insufficiently loyal to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda.

    Among those removed are David Feith, senior director for technology and national security, and Brian Walsh, senior director for intelligence matters.

    Loomer urged the removal of NSC staffers she deemed disloyal. While it’s unclear if her recommendations directly led to the firings, sources describe the action as part of an â€œanti-neocon” effort targeting officials associated with hawkish foreign policy views.

    According to Axios reporters Barak Ravid and Dave Lawler, up to 10 people were unceremoniously dismissed.

    Behind the scenes: The U.S. official said Loomer was furious that “neocons” had “slipped through” the vetting process for administration jobs, referring to hawkish foreign policy views commonly associated with the Bush administration.

    “She went to the White House yesterday and presented them with her research and evidence,” the official said. Loomer’s visit was reported earlier by Status and The New York Times. The official suspected that the firings were linked to Loomer’s visit but was not certain.

    The Oval Office discussion included Vice President JD Vance, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Presidential Personnel Director Sergio Gor. Loomer emphasized the need for strong loyalty within the national security team.

    The firings follow recent issues within the NSC, including National Security Adviser Mike Waltz’s accidental inclusion of a left-wing journalist in a secure chat about military operations in Yemen, raising concerns about operational security.

    Axios continues:

    State of play: Axios has not confirmed whether any of the individuals let go were in any way connected to the separate controversy about the use of Signal and private email accounts by national security adviser Michael Waltz and NSC staff to discuss sensitive information.

    Trump considered firing Waltz at the height of the “Signalgate” scandal but ultimately decided to keep him and deny his critics a scalp, Axios’ Marc Caputo and Mike Allen reported.

    Loomer has promoted the conspiracy theory that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job,” suggesting that the Bush administration had prior knowledge of the events. In a June 2023 social media post, she shared a video with the caption “9/11 was an Inside Job!” and implied that the attacks were linked to then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s announcement about $2.3 trillion in unaccounted funds the day before 9/11.

    The White House has not issued an official statement regarding these personnel changes.

    NYC Mayor Ditches Democrats – Announces Re-election Bid As An Independent

    Shaking things up…

    New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced his re-election campaign but with a big caveat: he’s running as an Independent.

    Adams told Politico on Monday that he wants to “mount a real independent campaign,” saying that the federal bribery charges, which have been dismissed, “handcuffed him.” The New York City Mayor said he’d be “uninhibited” while campaigning.

    “I’m in the race to the end. I’m not running on the Democratic line. It’s just not realistic to turn around my numbers and to run a good campaign (from) where we are right now,” Adams said. “It hurts like hell.”

    Adams faces an uphill battle in his re-election campaign. Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on March 1 that he’d be running for New York City mayor.

    U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho on Wednesday dismissed federal charges against Adams, which alleged he used his position to receive luxury travel and illegal campaign contributions from Turkish foreign nationals.

    Adams has maintained his innocence and argued that the case was politically motivated by his criticism of the Biden administration’s immigration policy. 

    A Quinnipac University survey that was conducted just before and just after Cuomo announced his run for mayor found the former governor enjoying 31% support among New York City Democrats, while Adams garnered 11%.

    During the interview, the incumbent New York City Mayor slammed Cuomo for signing bail reform measures into law which he says led to a rise in crime during the coronavirus era.

    “Look at bail reform — that’s Andrew,” Adams said. “He can’t say, ‘I’m going to save the city from the far left’ when he surrendered to the far left.”

    Adams told the outlet that he would submit the required 3,750 signatures on May 27, which would put him on the ballot for November’s election.

    “Now I need this runway until November to redefine and remind people: This is why you elected me in the first place,” Adams said.

    Homeland Security May Be Forced To Give Up These Hidden Records On The Attempt On Trump’s Life

      Americans may soon know more on the inexplicable failure of seemingly every security measure in the July 13, 2024 attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, after an ethics watchdog filed a sweeping lawsuit.

      The non-profit public interest law firm Judicial Watch reports it has “filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for records related to security provided for the July 13, 2024, rally in Butler, PA, during which there was an assassination attempt on President Trump (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:25-cv-00704)).”

      “Federal agencies need to come clean on the events that led up to the assassination attempts on President Trump,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It is now eight months since the first attempt, and the American people have yet to receive any answers under FOIA on the failures of the Biden administration to protect President Trump.”

      Judicial Watch reports the lawsuit was filed “after the agency failed to comply with a July 15, 2024, FOIA request to for:”

      All records, including emails, email chains, email attachments, text messages, video or audio recordings, photographs, outlook calendars, meeting minutes, correspondence, statements, letters, memoranda, reports, briefings, presentations, notes, summaries, requests for assistance, agreements, travel records, receipts, or other form of record, regarding providing support or manpower to President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign rally that was held in Butler, PA, on July 13, 2024.

      Judicial Watch notes the request “specifically sought records from the agency’s Homeland Security Investigations, which is believed to have helped provide security at the Butler event.”

      “On July 13, 2024, at a campaign rally in Butler, PA, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump. After the attempt on President Trump’s life, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas named a bipartisan panel to conduct a 45-day independent review of the planning for and actions before, during, and after the rally,” Judicial Watch reports.

      Judicial Watch notes it has “an ongoing, independent investigation into the assassination attempts on President Trump,” writing:

      In August 2024, Judicial Watch received Secret Service records that showed the Secret Service has made it a top priority that “diversity and inclusion is not just ‘talked about’ – but demonstrated by all employees through ‘Every Action, Every Day.’” [Emphasis in original]

      Judicial Watch also uncovered records from the district attorney’s office in Butler County, PA, detailing the extensive preparation of local police for the rally at which former President Trump was shot, including sniper teams, counter assault teams and a quick response force.

      In response to a separate open records request, Judicial Watch obtained bodycam footage of the July 13 assassination events from the Butler Township Police Department.

      Judicial Watch reported that the FBI withheld information on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information about its coordination with the U.S. Secret Service regarding the July 13 Butler, PA, rally.

      On July 31, Judicial Watch reported that the United States Secret Service completely denied multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documents about the assassination attempt on former President Trump.

      Trump Tax Return Leaker Asked To Appear Before Congress After Outrageous Sentence

      The former IRS contractor who got a sweetheart plea agreement from the Biden administration after stealing and leaking the private tax information of President Donald Trump, will soon have to answer to Congress.

      The House Judiciary Committee reports Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter “requesting that Charles E. Littlejohn, a former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) contractor who leaked tax information belonging to hundreds of thousands of Americans, including President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, appear before the Committee.”

      “In February, the IRS informed the Committee that Littlejohn had leaked the private data of more than 400,000 taxpayers—nearly six times higher than the 70,000 figure initially reported by the Biden-Harris IRS,” the Committee reports, noting it “raised concerns related to the Department of Justice’s sweetheart plea deal Littlejohn received, which resulted in a light sentence despite the severity of the data breach.”

      Despite pulling off what may be the greatest data theft in IRS history, which the presiding judge called “a threat to our democracy,” and exhibiting little remorse, Biden administration prosecutors allowed Littlejohn to plead guilty to only one minor charge, giving him the lightest possible sentence.

      Jordan’s letter reads, in part:

      “Since the 118th Congress, the Committee has been conducting oversight into the unprecedented leak of protected taxpayer information by your client, Charles E. Littlejohn. On January 29, 2024, the Department of Justice (DOJ) allowed Mr. Littlejohn, a former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) contractor, to plead guilty to only one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax information for leaking ‘thousands of individuals’ and entities’ tax returns,’ including President Trump’s tax information. Since then, the Committee has obtained information showing that the scope of the leak is much broader than the Biden-Harris Administration led the public to believe—affecting over 400,000 taxpayers. In light of this new information, Mr. Littlejohn’s testimony is critical to the Committee’s oversight efforts and advancement of potential legislative reforms. We therefore respectfully request his testimony. 

      “In 2017, Mr. Littlejohn applied to work as an IRS contractor with the expressed intention of accessing and disclosing President Trump’s tax returns. Not only did Mr. Littlejohn succeed in obtaining and leaking President Trump’s returns, he also disclosed ‘thousands of Americans’ federal tax returns and other private financial information’ to the New York Times and ProPublica, which together published more than 50 articles relying on the stolen information. Despite the Biden-Garland Justice Department referring to his unauthorized disclosures as ‘unparalleled in the IRS’s history,’ it only charged Mr. Littlejohn with one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax information, which resulted in a five-year prison sentence, three years’ supervised release, and a $5,000 fine. The judge who oversaw Mr. Littlejohn’s sentencing, admitted that she was ‘perplexed’ and ‘troubled’ by the plea agreement.

      “After Mr. Littlejohn’s sentencing, the IRS began notifying and assisting affected taxpayers. In May 2024, an IRS spokesman stated, ‘[m]ore than 70,000 people received the initial notice that their information was involved in the breach.’ However, in December 2024, the IRS issued a second wave of notifications to additional taxpayer victims. On February 14, 2025, the IRS disclosed to the Committee that it had ‘mailed notifications to 405,427 taxpayers whose taxpayer information was inappropriately disclosed by Mr. Littlejohn’ and that ’89 [percent] of the[se] taxpayers are business entities.’

      “In light of this new disclosure that Mr. Littlejohn leaked hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ information—not just ‘thousands’ as previously suggested—the Biden-Harris Administration’s decision to charge him with just one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax information is even more concerning. The Committee has jurisdiction over criminal law and federal law enforcement pursuant to House Rule X. As such, to develop effective legislation, such as reforms to DOJ procedures governing plea agreements and new statutory limits of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, Mr. Littlejohn’s testimony is necessary.

      “Accordingly, we write to request Mr. Littlejohn’s testimony before the Committee on the Judiciary as soon as practicable. Please confirm his appearance before the Committee as soon as possible, but no later than 5:00 p.m. on March 31, 2025. We will also work with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to facilitate his testimony in a timely manner.”

      Canadian Conservative Pushes Ottawa To Remove All US Tariffs

      As Canada braces for President Trump’s Liberation day tariffs to take effect some Canadian political leaders are suddenly supporting proposals to remove all tariffs.

      Maxime Bernier, who served as foreign affairs minister in former Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government and now heads the right-wing People’s Party of Canada (PPC), told Fox News Digital in an interview from Halifax that it is “absolutely” the time for Canada to remove all tariffs against the U.S.

      He said the 25% duties the Canadian government, under then-Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, imposed on the U.S. in early February to counter Trump’s 25% tariffs against Canada “won’t hurt the Americans – it is hurting Canadians.”

      New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement following his March 28 call with the president – the first contact between both leaders since Carney was elected Liberal leader by his party nearly three weeks before – that Canada would implement retaliatory tariffs in response to Wednesday’s U.S. “trade actions.”

      The PPC leader said that Trump should be told that “the real reciprocal response” to tariffs is “zero on our side, zero on your side.”

      Bernier said that instead, Carney and his main rival, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre, are being “fake patriots using a dollar-for-dollar trade war against Trump” and telling Canadians: “That’s the best thing to do.”

      “We cannot impose counter-tariffs,” said Bernier, who also served as industry minister in the Harper government. 

      “The Americans are 10 times bigger than us. We won’t win a trade war,” he said, underscoring that retaliation will lead to a recession in Canada.

      Former Canadian Conservative politician Tony Clement, who served alongside Bernier in Harper’s Cabinet, told Fox News Digital that “from an economic point of view,” removing Canadian tariffs “makes a lot of sense” and “may come to that at some point, but the public isn’t there right now.”

      “From a point of view of the emotional wounds of Canadians created by Trump and his annexation talk and tariffs, I’m not sure that a political voice would survive if it went down that public-policy route,” said Clement, a former Canadian industry minister in the Harper government.

      “The mood of the people is outrage. I’ve never seen people in Canada this incandescently mad at the United States,” he said, who is campaigning in the Toronto area for Poilievre’s Conservative Party ahead of the April 28 general election. “There is complete distrust of whatever Trump says because it can change within 24 hours.”

      Eliminating Canadian tariffs, without a quid pro quo from Trump, could “show weakness to a bully,” added Clement, who, prior to entering federal politics in 2006, served as a Cabinet minister in former Ontario Premier Mike Harris’ Progressive Conservative government.  

      In the statement released following his recent conversation with Trump, Carney said that both leaders “agreed to begin comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship immediately following the election.” 

      Conservative strategist Yaroslav Baran, who served as communications chief for Harper’s successful Conservative 2004 leadership campaign, and director of war room communications for the Harper-led Tories during the 2004, 2006 and 2008 federal election campaigns, told Fox News Digital that under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), “trade in goods and services ought to be tariff-free” between Canada and the U.S., excluding carveouts on the Canadian side for dairy, eggs, poultry and softwood lumber. 

      However, Baran added that he “can’t semer Ontario Premier Mike Harris’ Progressive Conservative government.  

      In the statement released following his recent conversation with Trump, Carney said that both leaders “agreed to begin comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship immediately following the election.”

      However, Baran added that he “can’t see the removal of all Canadian tariffs on U.S. products as long as the U.S. has tariffs on Canadian products.”

        Former first son and convicted felon Hunter Biden agreed to be disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C., according to court records. 

        Hunter Biden filed an affidavit under seal on Tuesday acknowledging his “consent to disbarment,” D.C. Court of Appeals records show. Biden was “suspended immediately from the practice of law” in Washington, D.C., in June 2024 following his felony conviction in a Delaware federal court. 

        Hunter Biden will officially be disbarred if the D.C. Court of Appeals accepts a disciplinary agency’s recommendation – and his own consent – for disbarment, according to the New York Post.

        The former first son’s Washington, D.C., bar member standing currently reads that he is under “Temp Disciplinary Suspension,” Fox News Digital found on Wednesday morning. Hunter Biden has been licensed to practice law in the nation’s capital since 2007. 

        Hunter Biden was found guilty in June 2024 of lying about his drug use when purchasing a firearm in 2018. 

        He was found guilty on three charges: making a false statement on a purchase application of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

        Trump Calls Out 4 ‘Disloyal’ GOP Senators By Name Over Defiant Tariff Pushback

          Early Wednesday, President Donald Trump unloaded on multiple Republican Senators who are opposing his impending tariffs on Canada.

          Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) introduced a resolution to terminate the emergency declaration, and while the vote is largely symbolic, several Republican defections would carry political weight.

          Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Rand Paul (R-KY) have expressed support for Kaine’s motion, with Collins calling the tariffs a “huge mistake.”

          In a fiery Truth Social post Wednesday, the same day his new tariff regime is set to come into play, the president lashed out at four ranking Republican senators — Mitch McConnell, Paul, Collins, and Lisa Murkowski â€” for wavering on his plan.

          Trump accused the lawmakers of “playing with the lives of the American people” and aligning with “Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels.”

          Trump didn’t hold back, accusing the dissenting Republicans of exposing “the weakness of certain Republicans” and imploring voters to “contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals.”

          He wrote:

          Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul, also of Kentucky, will hopefully get on the Republican bandwagon, for a change, and fight the Democrats wild and flagrant push to not penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl, by Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy. They are playing with the lives of the American people, and right into the hands of the Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels. The Senate Bill is just a ploy of the Dems to show and expose the weakness of certain Republicans, namely these four, in that it is not going anywhere because the House will never approve it and I, as your President, will never sign it. Why are they allowing Fentanyl to pour into our Country unchecked, and without penalty. What is wrong with them, other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly known as TDS? Who can want this to happen to our beautiful families, and why? To the people of the Great States of Kentucky, Alaska, and Maine, please contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals. They have been extremely difficult to deal with and unbelievably disloyal to hardworking Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Party itself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

          The tariffs, set to take effect on April 2, which the president has branded “Liberation Day”, are justified by Trump under an emergency order citing fentanyl trafficking across the northern border — despite testimony from his own intelligence chief downplaying Canada’s role in the crisis.

          NYC Mayor Eric Adams Indictment Dismissed

          On Wednesday, a federal judge dismissed federal corruption charges against New York City mayor Eric Adams, underscoring the prosecutorial power of the Trump administration.

          In his ruling, the judge, Dale E. Ho of federal court in Manhattan, refused to allow the government to keep open the option of reinstating the charges, as the Justice Department had sought.

          The New York Times reports:

          The decision abruptly ended the long-running case weeks before it had been set for trial. It was also the culmination of a bitter clash between the prosecutors who indicted Mr. Adams and the officials at Mr. Trump’s Justice Department who killed the case.

          The fight, in which Manhattan prosecutors and Justice Department officials accused each other of ethical misconduct, left Mr. Adams deeply damaged as he faces a steep uphill climb for re-election this year.

          The Justice Department had moved to dismiss the charges against the mayor after the prosecutors who had brought the indictment refused to do so. One of the department’s highest-ranking officials offered a highly unusual justification, arguing that the case was compromising Mr. Adams’s ability to help enforce the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
