U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon of the Southern District of New York abruptly quit her post on Thursday, three days after being ordered to drop criminal charges against Mayor Eric Adams.
Sassoon’s resignation came in a two-sentence Feb. 13 letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to Reuters. Her tenure at the helm of the Manhattan-based federal prosecutor’s office (SDNY) lasted less than a month; President Trump had appointed her to the post on Jan. 21.
