What concerns are being raised about the Justice Department's independence following multiple resignations from the Public Integrity section?

The Justice Department is facing a significant crisis as six officials from the Public Integrity section have resigned, including three senior officials following a controversial meeting about the prosecution of New York Mayor Eric Adams. These resignations stem from allegations of improper influence from the Trump administration on ongoing cases, with concerns about potential quid pro quo arrangements involving immigration policies. The departing officials, including longtime Republican official Danielle Sassoon, have expressed serious concerns about the "rushed and superficial process" behind recent decisions. This wave of resignations represents growing internal dissent within the DOJ and raises urgent questions about the department's ability to maintain its independence and impartial enforcement of the law under current political pressures. The situation is being viewed as a significant scandal that threatens the transparency and integrity of U.S. law enforcement, with broader implications for political accountability in the justice system.
