76% Informative

Danielle Sassoon was tapped to lead the Manhattan federal prosecutor's office on Trump 's second day in office.

She quit on Thursday rather than go along with a Justice Department order to drop a criminal corruption case against Democratic New York Mayor Eric Adams .

The department ordered the case dropped, citing the city's approaching November mayoral election and saying that prosecuting Adams could interfere with his ability to assist with a crackdown on immigration.

Trump has said he did not personally order the charges against Adams dropped.

Bove 's referrals for investigation sent a signal that everyone at the Justice Department is "under the thumb" of Bove , a former federal prosecutor said.

The Justice Department under Trump has also suggested it would seek to criminally prosecute city and state officials who try to interfere with the administration's immigration crackdown.
