, who is facing corruption charges, filed a motion Monday challenging the bribery charge against him as “extraordinarily vague” and unsupported by substantial evidence.

The defense also contended that Adams’s actions, such as sending three messages to the fire commissioner, fall within the normal and lawful activities that any city official might undertake for a foreign consulate.
In Adams’s case, the allegations are too vague, according to Spiro, who said the indictment doesn’t directly link the benefits, such as travel perks, to any specific government action. Instead, the defense said the actions described, such as offering general help to foreign diplomats, are routine for public officials and don’t meet the legal standard for bribery.
