Summary
Is the Trump Justice Department establishing a precedent that those who promote the administration’s agenda can evade criminal accountability?
In an excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Joyce Vance and CAFE Contributor Elie Honig, former SDNY Assistant U.S. Attorney, break down the alleged quid pro quo between the Trump administration and NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
In a recent letter, former interim SDNY U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon accused acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove of seeking dismissal of the Adams case to further President Trump’s hardline immigration policies.
In the full episode, Joyce and Elie further discuss the turmoil at DOJ stemming from the Adams case:
– The resignations of Sassoon, Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten, and leaders of DOJ’s public integrity unit after they refused to comply with Bove’s demands; and
– The procedure for federal prosecutors to seek dismissal of criminal charges and the upcoming court hearing on the Adams dismissal request.
