A relaxed looking Eric Adams celebrated the federal bribery costs against him that was withdrawn by getting a laser hair removal procedure.
The mayor of New York City put on Monday hour in the Harlem Zen Wellness Spa in Manhattan after he learned his legal danger.
He visited the Spa to praise a $ 85 million public investment initiative that has pushed his administration, giving a loan of $ 60,000 to the company.
Owner Angela McTair thanked Adams for the Slush Fund while holding him for a hair removal procedure.
“With help such as what you gave us, we were able to upgrade to this machine that you will experience today,” MCTair told Adams.
Adams seemed carefree when he sat on medical sunglasses for about 10 minutes and took the opportunity to praise the work of his administration while he will continue to be re -elected in November.
“If I can get to the community and say that we have done this policy, we have put these millions of dollars in it, let's see the result now,” he said ABC7.
The mayor said that the city reached a record number of small companies this year on 183,000, and said that one in five in the city was opened since he took office.

“We broke the record for most things here in the history of our city, eight times straight,” Adams told reporters.
“If you look at how we inherited the city and the level of uncertainty because of Covid and you saw real management.”
Adams' airy visit to the spa came by hours after he heard that his legal danger was over when the Ministry of President Trump asked Federal Public Prosecutors to drop his corruption case.
He was accused of conspiracy in September to commit wire fraud, bribery of the federal program and to receive the campaign contributions from foreigners.
The mayor is also accused of cheating NYC taxpayers of $ 10 million by alleged fraudulent campaign funds.
Adams did not argue with his preliminary guide and claimed that he did nothing wrong after he had become the first mayor in the history of the city that was confronted in office.
Trump's acting deputy attorney General Emil Bove sent a memo to the southern district of New York and claimed that the former American lawyer accused of Manhattan Adams for his own political profit.
Bove – who used to work for SDNY – claimed that Adams, a Democrat, was the victim of the armed Ministry of Justice of Joe Biden.
Adams used the stop to push his legislative agenda while he is running for re -election, and said that the city hit a record number of small companies this year at 183,000 and said that one in five small companies in the city was opened since he took on

He added that the timing of the charges and 'more recent actions' by the former American lawyer who led the office, Damian Williams, 'threatened the integrity of the procedure', among other things by increasing the increasing preferred publicity that runs the risk the potential witnesses and the influence to have jury pool.

BEFE also wrote that the pending persecution has the ability of Adams' insufficiently limited 'to devote full attention and resources to illegal immigration and violent crime that has escalated under the policy of the earlier administration'.
The deputy AG did not try to free Adams, but said that the charges were made as an attempt to push the mayor out of office before being confronted with a democratic primary.
Adams will be targeted in June by a number of political heavyweights in New York, whereby the former Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo is said to jump in the race while consistently surpasses the straw polls above Adams.
The mayor of NYC is said to benefit from the city's system for matching campaign contributions with tax dollars and 'fraudulently obtained up to $ 2,000 in public funds for every illegal contribution', the indictment claimed.
He reportedly trusted the hidden nature of these illegal contributions to falsely portray his campaigns as authority.
“As a result of those false certifications, Adam's Mayoral campaign received more than $ 10,000,000 in public funds,” said prosecutors.

According to the indictment, the relationship of Adams with Turkish officials saw him accept a number of luxurious gifts, including a stay in lush hotels in Istanbul.
Allegedly, Adams has put pressure on the FDNY to open a Turkish government in Manhattan in exchange for 'luxury travel benefits' – despite the fact that the building is failing.
American lawyer for the southern district of New York Damian Williams claimed that Adams took 'corrupt official action in exchange for some of the luxury travel benefits'.
He claimed that there was 'considerable time pressure' to open the building on time for a visit from the Turkish president, at the insistence of a Turkish officer.
According to public prosecutors, Adams accepted a range of luxury gifts and facilities of foreign governments that hoped to buy influence from him.
This included free trips, hotel suites and upgrades of airlines worth more than $ 100,000. In July 2017, he reportedly accepted free business class -upgrades with companions for flights from New York to France, Turkey, Sri Lanka and China.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Adams' lawyer Alex Spiro believes that his client is justified after the charges have been withdrawn against him.
'As I said from the start, the mayor is innocent – and he would prevail. Today he has that. The Ministry of Justice has re -evaluated this case and established that it should not be improved. There is a good reason for that, “he said.
Spiro added that the mayor never used his office for his own advantage and has never violated campaign funding laws.
'Despite a lot of fanfare and sensational claims, there was ultimately no evidence that he once broke laws. The witnesses that were promised never came true, “he added.
“The extra charges that were threatened never came. Now, luckily, the mayor and New York can leave this unfortunate and miserable persecution behind. '
Trump had indicated a pardon in December on the possibility of a grace and told reporters that the mayor “had been treated pretty unfair.”
He had also claimed, without providing evidence, that Adams was prosecuted for criticizing the policy of former President Joe Biden about immigration.
After Trump's inauguration, Adams lawyers had approached the officials of the Supreme Ministry of Justice and asked them to intervene and drop it.
