Three federal prosecutors who were involved in the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams resigned after feeling pressured to regret their stance against the dismissal of the case. They asserted that admitting to any wrongdoing was unacceptable, emphasizing their commitment to the integrity of the justice system. Their resignations coincided with the appointment of a new top prosecutor in the New York office, raising further concerns about political influences in prosecutorial decisions, especially after the cases were dismissed under pressure from the Trump administration.
We will not confess wrongdoing when there was none, as we believe in upholding the integrity of our office and the justice system.
The new leaders of the Justice Department have decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations.
