Other legal experts have drawn comparisons to past instances of executive overreach, such as the firing of FBI Director James Comey during Trump's first term

Summary

The Justice Department’s decision to dismiss bribery charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams has led to a wave of resignations, tripling those of the 1973 “Saturday Night Massacre.”

Six senior officials, including Manhattan U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, stepped down in protest, citing concerns over political interference.

Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered the dismissal, arguing the case was “weaponization” of the justice system.

Legal experts see parallels to past executive overreach, raising alarm over the independence of the Southern District of New York.
