YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe top federal prosecutor in Manhattan resigned Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Adams.
The resignation of Danielle Sassoon was confirmed by a spokesperson for the office.
Her resignation came days after a senior Justice Department official directed New York prosecutors to drop the case against Adams.
LiveNOW's Andrew Craft spoke about Sassoon's resignation with former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove said in a memo Monday that the case should be dismissed so that Adams, a Democrat, could help with President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and campaign for reelection.
Justice Department officials didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Neither did Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro. A spokesperson for the mayor did not immediately respond.
