Danielle Sassoon and Other Officials Resign After Order to Drop Eric Adams Case

In a shocking turn of events, Danielle Sassoon, the Chief of the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Conviction Review Unit, along with several other officials, have resigned following an order to drop the case against Eric Adams, the Brooklyn Borough President and current mayoral candidate.

The case against Adams stemmed from allegations of voter fraud during his 2017 mayoral campaign, where it was alleged that he had illegally used campaign funds to pay off debts and expenses. The case had been under investigation for several months, with the Conviction Review Unit working diligently to gather evidence and build a case against Adams.

However, all their hard work came to a screeching halt when they received an order from higher-ups in the District Attorney’s office to drop the case against Adams. This decision was met with outrage and disbelief from Sassoon and her team, who believed that they had a strong case against the mayoral candidate.

In a statement released following her resignation, Sassoon expressed her disappointment with the decision to drop the case, stating that it was a blow to the integrity and independence of the Conviction Review Unit. She also cited concerns about political interference in the case, as Adams is a prominent figure in Brooklyn politics and a frontrunner in the upcoming mayoral race.

The resignations of Sassoon and her team have raised questions about the motives behind the decision to drop the case against Adams. Many are speculating that political pressure may have played a role in the decision, as dropping the case could potentially benefit Adams’ mayoral campaign.

The District Attorney’s office has yet to comment on the resignations or provide any further explanation for their decision to drop the case against Adams. However, the fallout from this controversial decision is sure to have far-reaching implications for both the District Attorney’s office and the upcoming mayoral race.

As the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the dropping of the case against Eric Adams continues, one thing is clear: the resignation of Danielle Sassoon and her team is a stark reminder of the importance of upholding the principles of justice and integrity in our legal system.
