Bari Weiss's The Free Press published a critical editorial condemning the Trump administration's interference in the DOJ, particularly following the resignation of Danielle Sassoon, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Sassoon resigned after being ordered to drop charges against Mayor Eric Adams, alleging a corrupt quid pro quo where Adams was supposed to support immigration enforcement for case dismissal. This ethical breach has alarmed many, with Sassoon being applauded for her moral courage in confronting the administration's actions, raising essential questions about the integrity of the legal system.
Sassoon's resignation illustrates serious ethical concerns over the Trump administration's influence on justice, posing risks to the integrity of the legal system.
Sassoon criticized the quid pro quo arrangement between the Trump administration and Mayor Adams, labeling it as corruption and an improper offer of immigration assistance.
The Free Press highlighted Sassoon's moral courage, asserting her action stands in stark contrast to the cowardly behavior prevalent within the administration.
The editorial stresses that dismissing charges against Adams for cooperation with Trump undermines the integrity of the Justice Department and raises corruption concerns.
