"Find a coward to file your motion": Adams prosecutor resigns after being asked to drop charges

Salon  

The lead prosecutor of New York City Mayor Eric Adams' corruption case has resigned over Department of Justice orders to dismiss the federal charges. Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten's resignation came shortly after that of Danielle Sassoon, formerly the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Scotten's stepping down came with a blistering letter to acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, accusing the senior man at the DOJ of making a "mistake." "Any assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way,” Scotten wrote.
