Allegations of political interference in the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams are deeply concerning, particularly the reports that career prosecutors were alarmed by the order to drop the charges which they viewed as politically motivated. While the President denies any improper meddling, the resignation of six top Justice Department officials, including the respected U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, over this matter raises significant red flags. Sassoon directly accused the administration of a "quid pro quo" aimed at advancing the President's immigration agenda. The American people deserve full transparency and an impartial pursuit of justice, free from even the appearance of undue political influence. I urge you to use your oversight authority to thoroughly investigate these troubling developments and ensure the Department of Justice remains insulated from partisan pressures when enforcing the rule of law. Upholding the integrity of our justice system must be the paramount consideration in this high-profile case.
