Mayor Eric Adams’ legal team claims feds don’t have the evidence for another indictment

Show ’em if you got ’em!

Mayor Eric Adams’ legal team threw down the gauntlet Monday — claiming federal prosecutors don’t have the goods for another indictment despite saying months ago that they were “moving quickly” on more charges.

“The incriminating evidence the government hoped to obtain does not exist,” celebrity attorney Alex Spiro wrote in the early morning filing.

“The government’s ‘evidence’ thus reveals what defense counsel knew all along: this case is an egregious overreach by prosecutors with no interest in a search for the truth,” Spiro added.

The high-profile attorney — who is also repping Jay-Z in his underage sex allegation lawsuit — also claimed that none of the discovery turned over so far contains any damning evidence and more than two dozen witnesses provided testimony that allegedly clears the mayor.

However, Spiro notes, the defense team still doesn’t have all the witness statements, which he claims the feds want to withhold right up until trial in April.

Adams, who has vigorously denied any wrongdoing, was slapped with a historic federal indictment in September accusing Hizzoner of accepting bribes — free or heavily discounted luxury travel — in exchange for political favors.

In the days following, lead prosecutor Hagan Scotten told the judge a “superseding indictment” was “quite likely” and the feds were “moving quickly.”
