The resignation of Danielle Sassoon as Interim US Attorney has sparked controversy surrounding the prosecution of Mayor Adams. The Justice Department, particularly Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, condemned the investigation as politicized, asserting it undermined Adams' governance and impair his 2025 election campaign. Bove insisted that the timing of the case, initiated under a previous U.S. Attorney with political ambitions, is detrimental to public safety. Sassoon contended that the weaponization claims do not warrant dismissal of the indictment, suggesting improper political exchanges were attempted in the case.
