In a significant shift within the legal landscape of New York, several top prosecutors, including the acting U.S. attorney for Manhattan, have resigned following orders from the Trump administration to drop a corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. This controversial directive has sparked a wave of resignations, raising concerns about political influence over the judicial process. Critics argue that the charges against Adams were weak, while others view the request as a compromise to maintain control over a prominent Democratic figure. The situation has led to increased tensions within the Justice Department, as lawmakers and legal experts question the integrity of the dismissal and its implications for the independence of federal prosecutors.
