Scandal around New York Mayor: Prosecutor appears after resignation!

In the heart of New York it is bubbling: Mayor Eric Adams is the focus of a explosive corruption scandal.

The surprising procedure of the Ministry of Justice, however, has led to a shocking resignation: Danielle Sasso, the provisional prosecutor of Manhattan, resigned because she did not want to follow the order to reject the lawsuit against Adams. Sassoon revealed her conviction that Adams actually committed crimes and criticized the fast and opaque process of the decision in a letter to Justice Minister Pam Bondi. "I am still amazed at the rushed and superficial procedure," she wrote and asked for a re-evaluation of the instructions to drop the case, as well as Tagesschau reported.

The Geschenken from the Ministry of Justice was sharply criticized by Scotten, an experienced prosecutor, who also submitted his resignation. In his resignation message, he warned that such action undermined the laws and traditions of the United States. He pointed out that no "free system" could tolerate the influence of governments on elected civil servants by the public prosecutor. Adams, on the other hand, consolidate his political relationship with Trump and explains that the process is politically motivated, which could significantly influence the political landscape in New York.
