The US Department of Justice asked a federal judge Saturday for a week-long extension to unseal documents in Mayor Eric Adams’ dismissed corruption case – after missing the deadline a day earlier. 

The records – which will provide the public an inside look at Adams’ prosecution – were supposed to be unveiled before 11:59 p.m. Friday, but the DOJ defied Manhattan federal Judge Dale Ho’s court order.

DOJ lawyers filed a motion Saturday to extend the deadline to May 9 at 5 p.m. for turning over the cache of evidence and documents for public review.

“The purpose of the request is to allow additional time for the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York to coordinate on review of the materials at issue and any necessary redactions,” they wrote.

Lawyers for Post, the New York Times and Adams consent to the extension, the filing says.

Ho last week sided with The Post and other news outlets that demanded access to the documents, which include a warrant for Hizzoner’s cellphone that was seized by federal agents on a Big Apple street.

The judge dismissed the federal criminal case against Adams in April, saying it would ensure the prosecution couldn’t be held over the mayor’s head by the Trump administration as he runs the city.

Ho’s ruling broke with the DOJ, which sought to halt the case for the time being, but wanted to keep the ability to resurrect it in the future.

Adams had faced a five-count indictment, including bribery and fraud, accusing him of pocketing more than $100,000 in illegal campaign contributions and travel perks from people seeking to buy influence with him, including a Turkish official.

He has denied any wrongdoing.
