Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York , Danielle Sassoon , resigned in protest over being ordered to end the prosecution of Eric Adams .

The DOJ had indicted Adams last September on a somewhat questionable bribery charge involving an upgraded flight to Turkey .

The dismissal of charges was also alleged to be a reward, or quid pro quo, for his post-election commitment to cooperate with Trump administration's efforts to reverse former President Biden 's open border policies.

William Clement : Ex-prosecutors didn't realize other enforcement priorities of the new administration might outweigh their self-righteous pursuit of the mayor the regard as a scoundrel.

Clement: They mistakenly and naively believed that an initiated prosecution based on sufficient evidence must be taken to its conclusion, and that any decision to do otherwise based on competing policy considerations must be "corrupt".
