In a notable incident, seven federal prosecutors resigned in protest of an order from Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove to dismiss charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams. This mass resignation underscores the significant conflict between Trump's loyalists in government and dedicated civil servants. Prosecutors argue that the move is politically motivated to align with Trump's policies, while Bove insists on adherence to presidential directives. The fallout reveals a deep chasm within the Justice Department about integrity and loyalty, and raises concerns about the implications for political accountability.
Bove accepted the resignation, writing: 'In no valid sense do you uphold the Constitution by disobeying direct orders implementing the policy of a duly elected President.'
