What led to the mass resignation of DOJ officials during the Trump administration?
Multiple senior DOJ officials resigned when ordered to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The resignations included acting U.S. attorney Danielle Sassoon, Kevin Driscoll (acting head of the criminal division), John Keller (acting head of Public Integrity), and at least three other senior members from that section. These officials stood up to the Trump administration rather than compromising their professional integrity by dropping the Adams case for what appeared to be political reasons. Their collective action represents a significant stand against potential politicization of the Justice Department.
