Following a mass resignation of prosecutors, the Trump Justice Department is in turmoil. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove led a meeting with the public integrity section, instructing them to choose one lawyer to file a dismissal of corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The demand, though not explicitly threatening, led to a series of resignations.
Despite considering a mass resignation, the public integrity lawyers opted to select one person to file the dismissal. Bove, along with prosecutors Ed Sullivan and Antoinette Bacon, entered the filing to end the case after a wave of resignations from the Southern District of New York and the public integrity section.
