Nonilex<p>We did not learn much new at this hearing. But Judge Ho compelled the acting no. 2 official at the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DOJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOJ</span></a> to defend the rationale for abandoning the case against Mayor <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/EricAdams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EricAdams</span></a> & ultimately decided that he would take his time in assessing the government’s motion to dismiss.

Nonilex<p>Judge Ho says he will not make a decision about dismissing the case from the bench, and will instead consider everything put forth today, and make a reasoned decision about what to do next. “I’m grateful for your patience as I consider these issues carefully,” he said.</p><p>Court is adjourned.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DOJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOJ</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/EmilBove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmilBove</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/EricAdams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EricAdams</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>justice</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TrumpCoup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpCoup</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/QuidProQuo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QuidProQuo</span></a></p>
