What was Danielle Sassoon's response to the order to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams?

Danielle Sassoon, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, firmly refused to comply with the order, writing a remarkable memo to Attorney General Pam Bondi. In her memo, Sassoon stated she could not in good faith defend dismissing the indictment, believing it violated principles of impartiality and fairness in the justice system. Sassoon specifically objected to what she described as a quid pro quo arrangement where charges would be dropped in exchange for Adams' assistance with federal immigration enforcement. She not only refused to drop existing charges but also revealed plans to seek a superseding indictment with additional obstruction charges, based on evidence that Adams had destroyed evidence and provided false information to the FBI.
