Prosecutor Resignation Highlights DOJ Interference in Adams Corruption Case

Hagan Scotten, the lead prosecutor in the corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, has resigned following DOJ orders to dismiss the case. In a scathing letter, Scotten criticized the decision, stating it undermines legal integrity and hints at misconduct involving political deals. His resignation marks the seventh departure from the DOJ, signaling significant dissent over perceived political interference in law enforcement. Adams, who denies any wrongdoing or agreement with Trump officials, faces allegations of a quid pro quo related to immigration enforcement. The situation raises serious questions about the relationship between law enforcement and political influence.
