The lawyer for former interim Police Commissioner Thomas Donlon dispatched a letter to US Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding that Trump’s Justice Department take over the NYPD, citing an alleged conspiracy inside the department amid an ongoing legal battle.
The letter dated Sept. 9, sent from Law Office of John A. Scola, addresses Bondi directly and refers to a list of top police brass — including Mayor Eric Adams, current Chief of Department John Chell, former Chief of Department Jeffery Maddrey, Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Kaz Daughtry, former Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Tarik Sheppard, and more. The document suggests that the country’s largest police force is riddled with corruption and criminal conspiracy and needs to be seized by the federal government in order to “restore integrity.”
