Internal messages hint at key reason Trump DOJ dropped case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams
Fox News
Former federal prosecutor William Shipley takes a closer look at the controversy surrounding the DOJ's decision to drop its case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
William Shipley was a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice from 1992 to 2013, and has been in private practice since leaving DOJ. He also writes a column on Substack under the name "Shipwreckedcrew" and is active on X using that same name.
The media extolled the "bravery" of career prosecutors who were standing up to the "corrupt" efforts by the newly installed Trump DOJ officials to reward the wayward Democrat mayor for his opposition to Biden administration immigration policies. The dismissal of charges was also alleged to be a reward, or quid pro quo, for his post-election commitment to cooperate with Trump administration's efforts to reverse former President Biden's open border policies.
