Mayor Eric Adams’ criminal defense attorney Alex Spiro met with Justice Department lawyers in Washington, D.C., Friday to negotiate the dismissal of federal charges filed against him, a source told NY1.

The meeting also included attorneys from the U.S. Southern District of New York, according to The New York Times.

Since President Donald Trump took office, Adams’ legal team and the DOJ have been discussing a deal to drop the five-count criminal indictment against him, which includes bribery and soliciting campaign donations from a foreign national.

“I have so many real issues to deal with every second of the day!” Gov. Kathy Hochul said when asked if she thinks the mayor’s top priority is beating federal charges. “How would I possibly know what he’s focused on?”

“All I know is we talk to each other about public safety. My last conversation was saying, ‘Let’s work together. I’ll support you financially.’ Getting two police officers every overnight so people start not just being safer but feeling safer. That’s what I talk to the mayor about,” she continued.

Last September, Hochul considered removing Adams from office, under powers she’s granted through city and state law.

Meanwhile, Adams’ former top adviser Ingrid Lewis Martin is due in court next week, facing bribery and money laundering charges.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was tight-lipped when asked whether his investigators have unearthed new evidence connecting her conduct to the mayor.

“I’m not gonna address ongoing matters,” he said when asked Friday by NY1.

Meanwhile, Hochul won the state’s District Attorneys Association endorsement of her proposal to change New York’s 2019 discovery law.

“That ensures the rights of victims and the rights of the accused and keeps the community safe. We understand the intent of the law from 2019, 2020, but there have been some unintended consequences,” Michael McMahon, Staten Island’s Democratic district attorney, said.

Prosecutors say it’s led to burdensome caseloads resulting in a high number of case dismissals and recidivists getting off the hook.

“Those changes went too far and legitimate cases are being dismissed on technicalities,” Hochul said.

Hochul has been busy.

Sources said the governor spoke to Trump twice this week by phone about the fate of congestion pricing.

“He and the people around him have said they’re not supportive of this. My job is to advocate on behalf of New York state and our policies,” the governor explained.

Although Trump is a known opponent of the tax, Hochul argued she made her case.

“There’s going to be a follow-up conversation on this next week,” she said.
