What is Denise Chung alleging in her resignation from the U.S. attorney's office?

Denise Chung is alleging that the deputy Attorney General asked her to fabricate a crime when she couldn't see evidence of one. This serious claim suggests she was pressured to freeze assets without sufficient legal basis, leading to her resignation from the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C. Andrew Weissmann, a former top prosecutor, validates this interpretation, stating it's a 'fair way of looking at it.' The situation has raised significant concerns about potential political influence within the Justice Department and the ethical obligations prosecutors face when presented with pressure to act without proper evidence.
