The case was to be dropped without prejudice until the mayoral election later this year, pending a review by the U.S. attorney&#8217;s office. So it&#8217;s possible the charges could be revived at a later time.<\/p>\n<p>Adams was set to go to trial on <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/read-full-nyc-mayor-eric-adams-indictment-details-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the charges<\/a><\/span> \u2014 which included bribery and campaign finance violations \u2014 in April.

Changes in top federal prosecutor jobs are customary and expected around the time of presidential transitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. attorneys received notes in their inboxes informing them of their terminations, which sources said was a departure from past practice in which they were asked to submit their resignations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The exact number of affected offices remains unclear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n      <em><\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jacob-rosen\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jacob Rosen<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.<br \/>\n      <\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/scott-macfarlane\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Scott MacFarlane<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/scott-macfarlane\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/2547b37b-aacb-4322-8642-5a0e056a304f\/thumbnail\/80x80\/3d64bfebf6e5c49817b2a092e16191fe\/headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg?v=f303dc12868a012283443d8b9123e5fe 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/2547b37b-aacb-4322-8642-5a0e056a304f\/thumbnail\/160x160\/51c5e90efa00098be23a0152835d52e7\/headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg?v=f303dc12868a012283443d8b9123e5fe 2x\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Scott MacFarlane is a congressional correspondent.
