Charges against Adani can be withdrawn after Trump takes over: Lawyer

There remains a possibility that the USD 265 million bribery case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani can be withdrawn if the charges against him are deemed unworthy or defective after Donald Trump takes over as the US President, a prominent Indian-American attorney has said. Attorney Ravi Batra told PTI that while every new president has a new team, President-elect Trump as the 47th President of the US, who is forgoing FBI-checks for his Cabinet, will "neuter any prosecution that's not based in good faith, but is what he has powerfully termed: lawfare. Essentially, that means the law is being applied selectively to target one's opponents, which naturally denies the target of equal protection of the law guaranteed by our Federal constitution, Batra said. He added that that is an issue Gautam Adani can raise with his government, and request them to raise bilaterally with the incoming administration of Trump, who will be sworn in as the 47th US President on January 20, 2025.
