Adams will run for re-election as an independent instead of taking part in the Democratic primary, following a federal corruption investigation. Trump’s DOJ dismissed the charges against Adams in April.
He faced a fresh round of scrutiny early this year when several prosecutors in the Southern District of New York resigned, citing pressure from officials in the Trump administration to drop the charges.
