The morning after the mass resignation of prosecutors sparked a crisis inside the Trump Justice Department, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove led a meeting with the Justice Department’s public integrity section.

Adams, who claimed that the prosecution was the political consequence of his brave disagreement with Joe Biden over funding for migrants and asylees, took a victory lap, declaring that he would “never put any personal benefit above my solemn responsibility as your mayor.” That was, to put it lightly, not very convincing.
