What was Danielle Sassoon's response when ordered to dismiss corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams?

Danielle Sassoon, a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney, chose to resign rather than comply with orders to dismiss corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. She wrote to her superior, Bove, indicating that her entire team was in agreement with this principled stance against what they viewed as political interference. In response, Bove reacted with contempt, placing her team on administrative leave and threatening an investigation through the Office of Professional Ethics. This exchange highlights the tension between legal professionals upholding the rule of law and political pressure, demonstrating how some federal prosecutors are standing firm against perceived corruption despite potential professional consequences.
