Adams, 64, was charged in September with five criminal counts, including bribery, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national.

In court documents filed Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said that “law enforcement has continued to identify additional individuals involved in Adams’s conduct, and to uncover additional criminal conduct by Adams,” as part of the ongoing investigation.

It seems to me that holding the possibility of dismissing the charges would allow him to own Adams. If he dismissed them all, what would be the leverage then, unless there are additional crimes?

Dismissing without prejudice allows charges to be filed at a later date. Kinda like Smith had done with Trump's criminal cases.
