Former Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams has come under fire from Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove for allegedly politicizing the corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. Bove's memo criticized Williams for rushing to indict Adams in September, suggesting it was motivated by personal ambitions linked to potential political appointments. Bove described Williams' actions as tainting the prosecution process and raised concerns about the integrity of the results. The controversy comes amid Williams' transition to a position at a private law firm after leaving public service.
His actions inappropriately politicized and tainted your office's prosecution, potentially permanently.
You did not directly defend the former U.S. Attorney's behavior in response to a recent defense motion. Nor could you.
