A significant upheaval within the Justice Department has led to the resignation of multiple prosecutors over the controversial case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The turmoil began when federal prosecutors sought to dismiss corruption charges against Adams after facing directives from higher-ups linked to the Trump administration. Seven prosecutors, including the acting Manhattan U.S. attorney, have resigned in protest, with some describing the situation as a blatant violation of legal ethics and a corruption scandal reminiscent of Watergate. Adams has denied any wrongdoing, urging New Yorkers to move beyond the episode, while discussions continue about his future in office amid political pressures. The ongoing fallout raises questions about the integrity of the Justice Department and the influence of politics on legal proceedings.
