New York City Mayor Eric Adams asked a judge on Monday to set an earlier trial date in his federal corruption case next year, arguing the current date would impede Adams’ participation in his mayoral reelection campaign, according to court documents.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is seeking to move up the start of his trial on corruption and bribery charges so he can focus on his campaign for reelection this spring.

Turkish Billionaire Sezgin Baran Korkmaz is slated to testify against Adams, several sources confirm, as the embattled Mayor asks a judge to schedule his trial to accommodate his reelection big plans
