Assistant Attorney General Emil Bove had a very weird court hearing in the case of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

At least seven lawyers quit the Justice Department rather than comply with the request to drop the charges against Adams.

Ho, who argued against Trump’s first administration twice before the U.S. Supreme Court, is summoning the parties, including Adams, to his courtroom Wednesday as he seeks to drill down on the Justice Department’s drive to end the case and the mayor’s willingness to go along with that.
