Following the dismissal of federal corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, elected officials across Queens have called for his removal from office. The Department of Justice’s decision to drop the case has raised concerns among prominent Democrats, who allege that President Donald Trump now holds political leverage over the mayor.
Acting US attorney for Manhattan Danielle Sassoon and five senior DOJ officials in Washington DC have resigned in protest after the Justice Department moved to drop federal corruption charges against Adams earlier in the week.
