On Thursday, Acting US Attorney for the SDNY Danielle Sassoon abruptly resigned just a few days after she was ordered to drop charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
Emil Bove blasted Danielle Sassoon after she abruptly resigned on Thursday in a blistering 8-page letter.
Bove said the DOJ will not tolerate the misconduct and insubordination.
After Sassoon stepped down, several other federal prosecutors followed her lead and resigned in protest.
On Friday, Emil Bove had it and gave the remaining lawyers an option: drop the Adams case as instructed – or everyone will be fired.
Emil Bove asserted his authority on Friday after he pulled all of the remaining Public Integrity lawyers into one room and gave them one hour to decide who will dismiss Adams’ indictment or else everyone would be fired.
Later Friday evening, the DOJ officially moved to drop the charges against Eric Adams.
According to Reuters, one prosecutor finally agreed to drop the charges against Adams.
“The United States respectfully submits this motion seeking dismissal without prejudice of the charges in this case,” the DOJ said in its motion to dismiss Adams’ indictment.
