NEW YORK (WABC) — Mayor Adams is trying to get his Federal corruption charges thrown out.

Adams’ lawyer cites an op-ed piece written by the former U.S. Attorney who brought the charges – Damian Williams.

The opinion piece criticizes the mayor and city government.

In court papers, the mayor’s lawyers say the comments would interfere with a fair trial and that Williams all but launched his mayoral campaign against Adams.
