CNN reported a major crisis in the Justice Department as multiple resignations followed the controversial decision to drop the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon stepped down in protest over the order from Associate Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, leading to further resignations among key department heads. The situation is described as a 'Thursday Night Massacre,' with CNN anchors characterizing it as a complete meltdown reflecting broader issues in public corruption prosecutions under Trump's administration.
This is a full meltdown, and this is a spiraling crisis, for the Justice Department. They're gutting public corruption prosecutions and scaling back investigations.
What is happening behind closed doors tonight? The President and Attorney General are pausing a lot of investigations, making it difficult to proceed with public corruption cases.
