Several DOJ lawyers resigned rather than dismiss the Eric Adams indictment to advance Trump 's political aims.

Emil Bove ordered Manhattan 's top federal prosecutor, Danielle Sassoon , to drop the bribery case against the city’s Democratic mayor.

Bove , a former Trump criminal defense lawyer, issued a brazen memo on Monday claiming the DOJ wasn’t offering Adams a quid-pro-quo of ditching the case (for now) in exchange for his help with immigration enforcement.

The Trump DOJ is prepared to seek the reversal of a 90-year-old Supreme Court precedent that has long protected federal agency independence.

The move highlights a theme of Trump 's second term: the bid to consolidate power and the resistance from the judiciary and prosecutors.
