U.S. to drop fraud charges against Gautam Adani

financeMay 14, 2026211,561

The U.S. Justice Department plans to drop bribery and fraud charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. The charges were filed in the closing weeks of the Biden administration and accused Adani of corruption and investor fraud. The decision followed Adani’s hire of lawyer Robert J. Giuffra Jr. and a meeting in which Giuffra made an unusual offer to prosecutors, according to people familiar with the matter. Dropping the case removes a high-profile legal threat to one of India’s richest businessmen and could affect cross-border investor confidence and U.S.-India commercial ties.

Breaking NYT: The Trump Justice Department is dropping Biden-era charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani. The reversal came after Adani hired a new legal team led by one of Trump's personal lawyers.

Another billionaire. More fraud. Pardoned by the convicted felon in the White House. The corruption is staggering.

If you’re a billionaire, they let you do it.

This while Vance is giving a speech on fraud and withholding Medicaid funds for Ca, supposedly due to fraud.

We're living under the most corrupt and stupidest presidency in US history. Meanwhile the entirety of the cowardly and treasonous GOP remains silent.

Such blatant corruption out in the open. Our enemies and allies alike can clearly see that the United States of America is for sale. And we, American citizens, regardless of political ideologies, aren’t even an afterthought. We’re simply a means to an end. Collateral damage. VOTE

Remember when republicans screeched ‘Pay to Play’ about HRC and the Clinton Foundation ? Every accusation is a confession.

There is no bottom to his corruption and the corruption of the republican Party.

I know they know but, c’mon @nytimes.com. “Unusual offer” instead of “staggering corruption”??

Yes, tell us again how Trump is so worried about fraud. Look at ALL the fraudsters pardoned so far.

And the stench of the felon's corruption continues to permeate our government as planned in PROJ2025.

I think someone is horning in on trump's grift... I mean why not go the pardon route direct to trump? Is some shady lawyer trying to get in on the action? Have they whispered in the right ears, greased the right palms, before is ever got to trump...?

Has anyone alerted JD Vance, the fraud czar?

If Trump's DOJ drop's Biden-era charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, Adani will invest $10 billion in Donald Trump.

Gautam Adaniisis this billionaire that was indicted by US federal prosecutors on multiple counts of wire and securities fraud. He's accused of paying over $250 million in bribes to Indian government officials in exchange for solar energy contracts. So how much was his latest "Bribe!"?

PeriwinkleRose 💙🇺🇦2

So much for JD Vance being the “Fraud Czar.” He won’t speak a word about this because he’s a fraud himself!

A solid bribery is faster than waiting for the 250-jubilee-pardons… 🤷🏻‍♀️
