DOJ to Claim Political Motivation in Biden Admin’s Case Against Eric Adams

The Department of Justice is set to argue that the Biden administration weaponized the federal government to politically target New York City Mayor Eric Adams, according to a senior DOJ official. In a stunning turn of events, the DOJ will appear before U.S. District Judge Dale Ho on Wednesday to explain its motion to drop corruption charges against Adams, asserting that the case was “politically motivated” and weak.

The Biden administration’s alleged targeting of Adams is being compared to the politically charged prosecution of Donald Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “First, you had a years-long investigation where a target was picked before charges were decided,” the DOJ official explained, highlighting a disturbing pattern of politically motivated legal actions.

Key Points in the Case:

• Weaponization of Government: The DOJ contends that the Southern District of New York (SDNY) pursued Adams due to his criticism of the Biden administration in 2022.

• Trump’s Executive Order: The DOJ’s motion to dismiss relies on President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ending the weaponization of the federal government, arguing that continuing the prosecution would interfere with the 2025 mayoral elections.

• Internal Investigation: An active internal investigation is underway into SDNY personnel accused of political bias and insubordination related to the Adams case.

The DOJ claims that the case against Adams was built on “unprecedented legal theories” and weak evidence, making the prosecution politically motivated from the start. Reports suggesting a quid pro quo between Adams and the Trump administration were labeled as “made up,” with the DOJ emphasizing that the decision to drop the case was about preventing interference with the upcoming election and ensuring Adams’s ability to govern NYC.

This isn’t the first time Democrats have been accused of weaponizing the legal system against political opponents. From the Russia collusion hoax to the impeachment attempts against Trump, it’s clear that Democrats have repeatedly used the justice system as a political tool.

The case against Adams reportedly gained momentum after he criticized the Biden administration’s handling of immigration in 2022. The DOJ official noted parallels with Trump’s prosecution, which accelerated following his presidential comeback campaign announcement. This underscores the political motivations driving these high-profile cases.

The decision to drop the charges is rooted in Trump’s executive order aimed at dismantling the political weaponization of federal agencies. A senior DOJ official described the move as a “civics lesson for the deep state about implementing the agenda that the American people voted for.”

This bold step demonstrates Trump’s commitment to restoring integrity to federal institutions. By holding rogue elements within the DOJ accountable, Trump is sending a clear message: political witch hunts have no place in American justice.

An internal investigation into SDNY personnel involved in the case is already underway. The DOJ is probing allegations of insubordination and political bias, reflecting Trump’s pledge to clean house and drain the swamp. The senior official stated, “There is no room for that behavior here in President Trump’s executive branch and certainly not in this building.”

This case illustrates the deep-rooted corruption within federal institutions, where political allegiances have distorted the justice system. By exposing the political motivations behind the Adams prosecution, Trump’s administration is challenging the entrenched deep state.

This case is about more than just Eric Adams; it’s about preserving the rule of law and protecting American democracy from political weaponization. Trump’s leadership in ending the politicization of federal agencies is a victory for justice and accountability.

As the DOJ presents its arguments in court, the outcome could set a powerful precedent against political prosecutions, reaffirming that no one should be targeted for their political views.
