New York City Mayor Eric Adams was spotted arriving at a federal court after facing charges of bribery and unlawfully soliciting campaign contributions from a foreign entity on October 2, 2024.
The resignation of Danielle Sassoon, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, prompted significant attention on Thursday. Her departure came shortly after the Department of Justice issued a directive to dismiss her office’s ongoing criminal bribery case against Adams.
Although Sassoon’s resignation letter contained no reference to the Adams case, it has raised questions about the implications and motivations behind this decision, as reported by NBC News based on insights from a senior official.
As of Thursday afternoon, the criminal case against Adams remains active and has not been formally dropped. The allegations against him stem from an indictment handed down in September by a grand jury in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, encompassing accusations of bribery, fraud, and a long-standing campaign contribution scheme.
