The Justice Department just dropped a bombshell.
They released internal communications that reveal a rift among prosecutors in the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams bribery case.
Turns out some prosecutors were more interested in making headlines than building a solid case.
In the end, the case against the New York City Mayor is crumbling like, well, like the city itself.
This makes us all wonder, who’s really running the show behind the scenes?
Never fear, Trump’s Administration is on the case.
A motion just filed in Eric Adams case confirms Trump DOJ is investigating the origins of the indictment and prosecutors involved in the case.
This includes Danielle Sassoon and Hagan Scotten who is described as “aggressive and careerist as U.S. Attorney-1 (Damian Williams)”

NEW: In a filing last night in the Eric Adams case, DOJ disclosed information about those self-righteous SDNY prosecutors–Danielle Sassoon and Hagan Scotten–that contradicts their public resignation letters.

So they want to dismiss the case.
A top lawyer recommends permanently dismissing the case against Mayor Eric Adams, ending any leverage over him. A dismissal “with prejudice” would prevent charges from being refiled, even if he breaks with the White House. https://t.co/lgbkB7IFUE

USA Today reports:
An attorney asked to weigh in on the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Friday recommended a federal judge dismiss the case.
The court-appointed attorney, Paul D. Clement, counseled U.S. District Judge Dale Ho to dismiss the indictment “with prejudice,” which would mean the federal government can’t bring the same charges again.
Last month, federal prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the corruption charges against Adams, arguing that Adams can’t effectively cooperate on immigration enforcement if he is fighting a corruption case. But prosecutors also asked for the right to bring the charges again.
Ho sought advice from Clement, who was a solicitor general under President George W. Bush, because the Justice Department took the unusual approach of requesting the dismissal on political grounds: that Adams’ indictment limited his ability to assist in President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda.
Adams was charged with accepting illegal campaign contributions and free travel from Turkish officials and business leaders. Prosecutors say Adams, now running for reelection, responded with favors such as expediting safety inspections at a 36-story consulate building.
In his recommendation, Clement said, “the prospect of reindictment could create the appearance, if not the reality, that the actions of a public official are being driven by concerns about staying in the good graces of the federal executive, rather than the best interests of his constituents.”
Adams, a Democrat who used to be a Republican, has cozied up to the Trump administration in recent months, meeting with border czar Tom Homan and vowing not to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement despite New York’s “sanctuary city” laws.
