Three federal prosecutors have resigned instead of accepting responsibility after being suspended for their handling of the federal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The case was ultimately dropped. According to a letter obtained by NBC News, the prosecutors maintain their innocence and argue that the investigation was flawed from the start.
The prosecutors suggest that the Trump administration's involvement influenced the case. They believe this influence led to the mishandling of the investigation. By resigning, they avoid admitting any wrongdoing and stand by their initial actions.
This development raises concerns about the fairness and impartiality of the investigation into Mayor Adams. The resignations could lead to further scrutiny of the case and the reasons for its dismissal. The Justice Department has not yet commented on the resignations.
