Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Department of Justice has requested a federal court to dismiss corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams after several prosecutors resigned in protest. This comes as the Trump administration enacts significant layoffs of over 200,000 probationary federal employees, impacting various agencies including the CDC and the U.S. Forest Service. Critics of the layoffs argue they threaten essential services and are poorly executed, coinciding with a federal judge's ruling to implement a resignation program. The layoffs reflect broader efforts to cut federal spending and reduce agency redundancy.
