What notable Justice Department resignations have occurred and what prompted them?

Six principled lawyers including Danielle Sassoon, John Keller, and Kevin Driscoll, along with three others, have resigned from the Justice Department. These resignations appear to be in protest against perceived political interference, particularly in cases involving New York Mayor Eric Adams. These resignations follow earlier principled departures, including David Lebrech from Treasury, and connect to the firing of Paul Martin, inspector general of USAID, who was terminated after issuing a critical report about Elon Musk's activities at the agency. These actions represent a significant wave of government officials taking principled stands against what they view as inappropriate political influence in their departments' work.
