Sept. 30 (UPI) -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams is seeking a dismissal of a bribery charge brought against him and one that his lawyer contends is "extraordinarily vague" and was brought on by "zealous prosecutors," according to new court documents.

The mayor was accused, among other things, of accepting more than $10,000 in "improper valuable benefits" in the form of airline upgrades and luxury hotels.
