Mayor Adams cleared of legal battle, vows to rebuild trust, keep NYC moving vorward

Mayor Eric Adams has been cleared of legal scrutiny as the U.S. Department of Justice dismissed the case against him, ending a months-long investigation that he described as an “unnecessary ordeal” for himself, his family, and the city.

In a statement, Adams reaffirmed his innocence, emphasizing that he never broke the law or misused his position for personal gain. “I never asked anyone to break the law on my behalf or my campaign, and I absolutely never traded my power as an elected official for any personal benefit,” he asserted.

Despite the investigation, Adams highlighted his administration’s achievements, citing record drops in crime, an unprecedented increase in affordable housing, and historic job growth in the city. “Double-digit drops in shootings, homicides, and subway crimes. The most new housing built in a three-year period ever, and the most jobs ever,” he noted.

Acknowledging that some New Yorkers may still question his character, the mayor pledged to restore public trust by continuing to deliver results. “I know that I must continue to regain your trust. This experience has been humbling, but I never took my eyes off what was important—you and your family’s future.”

As he moves past what he called a “cruel episode,” Adams reaffirmed his commitment to working-class New Yorkers, drawing from his own struggles growing up in the city. “I am you, and that is why you can trust me to keep moving this city forward,” he declared.

With the legal chapter behind him, the mayor now sets his sights on maintaining momentum in addressing key issues facing New York City, including public safety, affordable housing, and economic opportunity.
