There is a possibility that the bribery charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, involving a USD 265 million scheme, could be dropped if the case is found to be unfounded or defective once Donald Trump assumes office as US President, according to a prominent Indian-American attorney.

Attorney Ravi Batra, speaking to PTI, explained that the incoming President, who will take office on January 20, 2025, has the power to oversee significant changes in prosecutorial decisions. "Each new president brings in a fresh team, and President-elect Trump, as the 47th President of the US, will likely take action to end any prosecutions not based on good faith but rather on what he has referred to as 'lawfare'," Batra said.
