A federal judge ordered New York Mayor Eric Adams , his attorneys, and Department of Justice prosecutors to explain the DOJ 's bid to dismiss criminal charges against Adams.

Manhattan U.S. District Judge Dale Ho set a hearing for 2 p.m. Wednesday on the dismissal bid.

The DOJ lawyers on Friday asked Ho to toss the case after seven prosecutors resigned rather than comply with an order to file that request.
