At Least 6 Leftist Federal Prosecutors Resign After Trump DOJ Drops Charges Against NYC Mayor Eric Adams

At least six federal prosecutors have resigned after Trump’s DOJ dropped charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

It was reported earlier that Acting US Attorney for the SDNY Danielle Sassoon abruptly resigned just a few days after she was ordered to drop charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

“Kevin Driscoll, the acting head of the department’s Criminal Division, which oversees federal criminal cases nationwide, also refused to drop the charges and resigned,” NBC News reported.

According to NBC News, at least 6 prosecutors resigned in protest on Thursday.

“John Keller, the acting head of the Public Integrity Section, refused to drop the case and resigned, two sources said. Three other members of the section also resigned,” NBC News reported.

On Monday, the Trump Justice Department moved to drop federal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

President Trump’s Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove instructed federal prosecutors in New York to drop the case.

“You are directed to dismiss” the case against Adams,” Emil Bove, Trump’s Acting Deputy Attorney General, wrote in a letter to the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, according to The New York Times.

Adams was recently indicted on charges including wire fraud, bribery and conspiracy out of the Southern District of New York, becoming the first sitting New York City mayor to face criminal prosecution.

Danielle Sassoon was preparing to bring a superseding indictment
