➡ The U.S. Attorney General in Manhattan resigned following the dismissal of charges against Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York. This happened after the Trump administration ordered the corruption case against Adams to be dropped. Now, those who supported Adams are expecting something in return. The situation has led to multiple resignations within the Justice Department and the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office.
➡ The text discusses the political controversy surrounding the dismissal of a case against Mayor Eric Adams. It suggests that the case was dropped due to political reasons, possibly to allow Adams to focus on implementing Trump’s immigration agenda. The text also criticizes the use of taxpayer dollars for pursuing such cases, arguing that it’s a waste of resources. It ends by highlighting the resignation of the interim U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Daniel Sassoon, who accused the Department of Justice of quid pro quo after she refused to drop the corruption charges against Adams.
➡ Brandon Johnson changed his mind and decided not to support the Democratic Party anymore, especially their stance on illegal migration. He chose to follow the decisions of those in power.

Let’s talk about the Attorney General over in Manhattan. The Manhattan U.S. Attorney General resigned. So we all knew that this whole Eric Adams situation was not going to be over. And what does that mean when I say the Eric Adams situation was not going to be over? It means that we knew that it wasn’t going to just be, okay, Eric Adams, he got off from the charges that they were trying to file against him. That was the end of the story. No, the rabbit hole now goes deeper. And more importantly, Eric Adams has to pay the piper.

Eric Adams now has to come before the front of the congregation and the people that asked for him and the charges to be dropped against him, now they want something in return. But before we get into that, let’s talk about the woman who resigned, who was the U.S. Attorney that was prosecuting Eric Adams that was forced to drop the case and then ultimately she quit her job. Let’s get into it. I told you about multiple high level of resignations at the Justice Department and the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office, all of them apparently prompted by the Trump Administration’s order for a New York court to drop the corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams.

And now CNN has just obtained two letters. One is the resignation letter from the acting U.S. Attorney in New York. The other is the response she got from Trump’s Deputy Attorney General Emil Bovet. Let’s go straight. Hold on, before we get into this, I do want to address something really quick. Somebody said in the name of the Mary, the Immaculate Queen of the Universe, I don’t even know what that means. Listen, listen, bro. I don’t know if y’all are Catholic. I don’t know what y’all worship and what y’all mindset is. My prayer was my prayer.

I said in Jesus name, not in Mary’s name. I didn’t read anything in a word where Mary was the person that we were supposed to be praying to. Jesus is the intercessor. And I don’t know if that was a joke or something like that. But Jesus is the intercessor. He is the person that we go to, that we go to or go through in order to be able to get our prayers over to where we needed to go. We don’t do Mary’s, okay? We don’t do Hail Mary’s for the grace. We don’t go and talk to the pitos, the preacher pitos, the Society of the Catholic Church, that y’all go and y’all do.

We don’t do confession. We don’t do none of that. We don’t pray to Mary. I want you to understand something. We don’t just say amen at the end of our prayers. At the end of our prayers, we say in Jesus name, because he said where two or three are gathered in his name, there he is in the midst of it. So I want to make sure that we all on the same page before we deep dive into this because we don’t switch up at all. We very matter of fact with what it is that we stand for over here at the Millionaire Morning Show.

All right, when we pray, we say what we say and we do what we do. Great to see you in heaven. Let’s start over and then we’re going to get to it. Don’t change my prayers. Breaking news in our law and Justice League. We just told you about multiple high level of resignations at the Justice Department and the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office. All of them apparently prompted by the Trump administration’s order for a New York court to drop the corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. And now CNN has just obtained two letters.

One is the resignation letter from the acting U.S. Attorney in New York. The other is the response she got from Trump’s Deputy Attorney General Emil Bovet. Okay, let’s go straight to CNN’s Evan Parris on Evan. Just to remind everyone, Nadine Sassoon, the U.S. Attorney, the acting U.S. Attorney in question, is a conservative, a member of Danielle Sassoon, a conservative, a member of the Federalist Society. She clerked for Antonin Scalia. That’s just a little background for people. What’s in the letters? That’s right, Jake. And we should note she was put in place as the acting attorney, I’m sorry, U.S.

Attorney in Manhattan by this current Trump team. In other words, they believe she could be trusted to run this office. And now it appears to have fallen apart all over because Emil Bovet, who is the Deputy Attorney General, he’s the acting Deputy Attorney General, had ordered her and her office to dismiss the charges, the corruption charges, against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. And so these two letters here, Jake, are extraordinary because they are part of a spiraling crisis that is ongoing right now at the Justice Department. Not only is Danielle Sassoon, also has she resigned, but also two officials here at the Justice Department headquarters have resigned as a result of what has been going on.

I’ll read you just some of what Danielle Sassoon says in her letter to the Attorney General yesterday. She accuses Bovet of essentially being part of a quid pro quo with attorneys for Eric Abb. She describes a meeting that happened on January 31st, in which she says, I attended a meeting on January 31st with Mr. Bovet, Adams Council and members of my team. Adams attorneys repeatedly urged what amounted to a quid pro quo indicating that Adams would be in a position to assist with the department’s enforcement priorities only if this indictment were dismissed. Somebody said, I don’t know, but I think Eric Adams is guilty.

Guilty of what? Do you even know what he was being charged with? I bet you the person, the people that think that Eric Adams is guilty, they don’t even know what he was charged with. Very few people can tell you what he was charged with without looking it up, without Googling it. Very few people actually can tell you what he was being charged with. I think that Eric Adams is guilty of allowing for illegal migrants and playing up and doing Biden’s bidding when it came to all of the people that was coming over into the country.

But I don’t think that Eric Adams is guilty of, I think he’s guilty of being a scumbag, but I don’t think that he’s guilty of taking improper payments and upgrades in order to assist the people over in Turkey. To get the leaders in Turkey building built faster, it’s nonsense. It’s not true. I don’t think that Eric Adams is guilty of that at all. What Adams and his attorneys were offering was that he would help with the enforcement of immigration activities in New York City, the sanctuary status, all the things that Donald Trump wants if they drop this case.

And that’s one of the things she makes in this accusation. Now, Bovet, for his part, responds today saying, essentially, we’re accepting your resignation. And he also puts on administrative leave the attorneys who are running this case in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office. And I’ll read you just a part of what he says. He says that they determined that there was weaponization in bringing this case, Jake. And he says, the Justice Department will not tolerate the insubordination and apparent misconduct reflected in the approach that you and your office have taken. So what we know now, Jake, is this.

After he had asked for the office to dismiss this case and she had declined saying nobody in her office was willing to sign the documents to dismiss the case. What happens next is that Bovet goes to the public integrity section here in Washington and he asks them, go to New York and sign these dismissals. They also declined and they resigned. So as a result, Kevin Driscoll, who is the top career lawyer in the criminal division, overseeing the public integrity section, he resigned today. And John Keller, also the acting head of the public integrity section, Jake, he resigned as a result of all of this.

Fascinating stuff. Evan Pettos, thanks so much. Let’s talk about this with Ellie Honig, CNN’s senior legal analyst, who was an associate U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. And Ellie, again, this woman, this acting U.S. attorney, Danielle Sassone, was a conservative, is a conservative. She clerked for Scalia. She’s a member of the Federalist Society. This is not her being a liberal activist prosecutor. Tell us about what kind of statement her resignation makes. Do you think not to mention the people in the public integrity section of DOJ? Well, Jake, these resignations were courageous and necessary moves.

It was the only right and principled and ethical move by all of them, all of them. Of course it was. Of course it was. I’m being sarcastic. They’re going to say, of course, CNN is going to sit there and say, oh, my God, this was the only ethical thing to do. They all had to resign or whatever, so on and so forth. The one thing that I applaud the Trump administration with is getting things done and making sure that they weed out the people that are not for the American people early in their administration. And the one mistake that Trump made in his previous term was he hired a bunch of people, not everybody, but there was a bunch of people that was basically snakes, and those snakes did not hold it down.

They did not take care of business. There was not on top of things. And they wound up trading against him, and it impeded what he was trying to do during his first administration, whereas this time he has basically got loyalists in his cabinet and on his team. And what he’s doing is basically rooting out the people very quickly and being able to vet out the people very quickly. That’s not playing ball and doing what they need to do so that we can get things done. All of them were faced with really a prosecutor’s nightmare scenario.

They were given a direct order from the DOJ bosses to dismiss a perfectly legitimate indictment before it ever saw a trial jury for purely overtly political reasons. If we look back a few days to Emil Bove’s instruction to dismiss the case, that letter is a crazy document. It is completely political. It is explicitly political. It says the reason I’m ordering you to dismiss this case has nothing to do with the merits of the case, nothing to do with the evidence, but because Eric Adams essentially needs to be freed up to pursue Donald Trump’s immigration agenda.

Now, of course, they’re going to say that. Let’s look at it logically from a reasonable perspective, right? Because some people would argue when they say, well, Anton, you’re just supporting Trump and everything that he does. No, that’s not true. I just called out the whole Gaza situation. But let’s look at it logically. Let’s say, hypothetically, that we use hundreds of thousands, if not millions of taxpayer dollars to chase down Eric Adams, that they could or could not possibly win a case against him when it came to him illegally accepting some upgrades on a flight from Turkey or whatever, so on and so forth that would net them their career case, get them through the door so that they can ultimately get bigger jobs and be able to get big firms or whatever, because really, that’s what a lot of this is.

People looking to make a career case and they’re using political figures to do it. Now, let’s say hypothetically that they pursue this and let’s say hypothetically that they actually win the case and they spend millions of taxpayer dollars and all of this time and all of this resources that they could have been dedicated to something else to do it, right? Casper, for example, says, obviously, they feel like they have a great case, get real, dude. Let me show you how short-sighted some of these liberals are. Number one, I don’t believe that it’s a case that they should be pursuing and prosecuting because obviously, we know that this was brought against them from the Biden administration.

But let’s just say all this stuff that they’re saying is true and they pursue this whole case. And then after they’re done, Trump then says, Robert Dalton says they had a case. Cool, let’s assume for the second conversation that y’all write, which y’all not, but let’s assume for the second conversation that y’all do. And they spend all of this millions of taxpayer dollars because that’s what it costs taxpayer dollars in order to pursue it, right? And then Trump says, cool, not at y’all done, he pardoned. And then what? Hmm. Hmm. What if they spend millions of taxpayer dollars that they could have actually been pursuing somebody that was doing something really wrong and that was really taking advantage of taxpayers or doing something egregious against the people of the United States of America and they spend millions of dollars doing this instead.

And then Trump says, okay, cool. Now that y’all did that, he pardoned. He free to do whatever it is that he want to do anyway. Then what? Because I believe in a lot of these instances, these people don’t really have a case, but they’re looking to make a name for themselves that then leapfrogs them into other positions later on in their careers. Why would we waste time on something that we know is not going anywhere in the first place? The only reason that they started pursuing him is because he didn’t play ball when it came to the immigration and the migrant crisis.

Waste of time, man. Y’all wasting time. Good for Daniel Sassoon, good for the other DOJ prosecutors. They did the right thing. They took a stand here. So there were a lot of concerns that the original case against Mayor Adams was dropped for political reasons. And let’s be frank here, it’s not just about their desire for him to carry out the anti-illegal immigration agenda in New York. Mayor Adams has been very explicitly wooing Donald Trump. And now multiple resignations are linked to this decision from the Justice Department. Do you think the actions of Emil Beauvais are over the line? A hundred percent.

I think they’re over the line. I think they’re political and I think they’re wrong. And Jake, as you said, Eric Adams has been angling for this type of treatment. We thought maybe it would be a pardon for months now. I will tell you in the SDNY circles that I sort of dwell in, people have been rolling their eyes at this for a long time saying, oh, he’s definitely going to get out of this somehow and get a pardon. But the way this all happened makes it even worse. The fact that Emil Beauvais instructed SDNY to do it.

And by the way, when Daniel Sassoon refused to do it, and you’re right, by the way, to note that she’s a conservative, not only was she a Federalist Society member, she pended op-ed against Joe Biden a few weeks ago, just sort of gratuitously criticizing Joe Biden’s pardons. But when Beauvais told her to do this, to dismiss the case, and when Daniel Sassoon refused, this part is really chilling to me. Emil Beauvais then fired back with a letter that Evan just referred to that said, fine, everyone around you is going to be put on administrative leave too.

And now we’re going to investigate you, not criminally, but through our Inspector General, which is the in-house ethics watchdog. So let’s go into this woman because we want to know exactly who Daniel Sassoon is because now she is visible for the American people. And I think that it’s important. Well, after less than a month on the job, the interim U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York has stepped down. Daniel Sassoon is accusing the Department of Justice of quid pro quo after she refused to drop the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams.

Good day is Robert Moses live outside Gracie Mansion, trying to get to the bottom of this thing. Robert, what can you tell us? Dan, it’s hard to overstate how extraordinary this resignation is and then the subsequent war of words back and forth between a top Justice Department official and this one-time acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District who just simply would not go along with his demands. That woman we’re talking about, Danielle Sassoon, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York at one point, hardly a liberal Democrat.

She is a registered Republican. President Donald Trump himself appointed her. She at one point clerked for the one-time conservative Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia. She’s a member of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group. You get the idea. But after the acting Attorney, Deputy Attorney General Emile Boveh, who has represented President Donald Trump in the past, told Sassoon to drop the case against Mayor Eric Adams. She had had enough. She tendered her resignation and Boveh then accepted it. And then five officials who work in the public integrity section of the Justice Department in Washington also resigned.

And her eight-page letter to the new Attorney General, Pam Bondi, Sassoon wrote, rather than be rewarded, Adams’s advocacy should be called out for what it is, an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case. Now, the mayor’s attorney, Alex Spiro, denies any kind of quid pro quo here. In a letter responding to Sassoon, Boveh wrote, in no valid sense do you uphold the Constitution by disobeying direct orders, implementing the policy of a duly elected president, and anyone romanticizing that behavior does a disservice to the nature of this work and the public’s perception of our efforts.

Really extraordinary back and forth here. So where does all of this leave the mayor? Well, criminally, it looks like he’s in the clear. Politically, that’s harder to tell. The only person who has the power to remove him from office is Governor Kathy Hochul. She spoke last night on MSNBC, and she did not rule out using her power. I am actually going to review that shortly, and I want to deep dive into that. But what this basically looks like, and it is, listen, I’m not one to shy away from the facts. I think that this was a winch-hunt against Eric Adams as a result of retaliation from the Biden administration.

And I also believe that Eric Adams has pulled some really strong favors by switching sides, unlike Brandon Johnson, by switching sides and deciding that he no longer wanted to align with the Democratic Party and their agenda with this illegal migration, and that he had to go ahead and give in to the powers that be.
