Three More Federal Prosecutors Resign over Dismissal of Eric Adams Probe
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, three more federal prosecutors have resigned to
protest the Justice Department's decision to drop federal corruption
charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for his cooperation with
Trump's immigration crackdown. In a joint resignation letter to Deputy
Attorney General Todd Blanche, prosecutors Celia Cohen, Andrew Rohrbach
and Derek Wikstrom write, "The Department has decided that obedience
supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical
obligations in favor of directions from Washington. That is wrong."
