Garaufis Tosses Most Adani Counts, Rebukes DOJ Official for 'Unusual' Conduct

U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis dismissed three of five counts against Gautam Adani in a bribery case, sharply criticizing senior DOJ official Trent McCotter as acting in an 'unusual' and 'unbecoming' manner and noting a lack of input from investigators; two counts remain pending for procedural reasons. The indictment had alleged a multi‑billion‑dollar scheme to obtain U.S. funds and secure Indian solar contracts through bribes to officials.
