In her Wednesday letter who refused an order to drop a corruption case against the mayor of New York City Eric Adams, the use of one Latin sense of Manhattan, the use of one Latin sense of Manhattan, drew a particularly strong response.
Interim Manhattan Us Attorney Danielle Sassoon, who resigned on Thursday, wrote that in a meeting of January 31, it was also attended by its superiors from the Ministry of Justice, Adams' Defense Advocate offered “What came down to a survey Pro Quo.” According to Sassoon, they said, “Adams would be able to help alone with the enforcement priorities of the department if the indictment was rejected.”
Adams' lawyer Alex Spiro fiercely denied that there was a Quid Pro quo in a Friday statement.
“We didn't offer anything and the department didn't ask anything from us,” he said. “I don't know what” means “means. We were asked whether the case had some influence on the enforcement of national security and immigration and we have answered it truthfully. ”
The expression literally means 'this before' and quid pro quo exchanges with official actions are crimes that are explicitly prohibited under federal anti-corruption laws.
The Sassoon report, as well as the series of dismissal that followed, can all be feeding for a judicial investigation into the handling of the case by the Ministry of Justice. She said in her letter that she thought it was likely that the American district judge Dale Ho, who had chair the case of Adams, would probably insist on a long -term and rigorous investigation and could reject any prosecution of the prosecution as inappropriate.
In the Monday warrant where Sassoon resigned, acting deputy attorney General Emil Bove said that the criminal case against Adams political was motivated and hinded the cooperation of the mayor with President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policy. Bove also stated in a footnote that he had said during the meeting of 31 January that “the government does not offer to exchange a criminal case for the help of Adams about immigration enforcement.”
He further suggested that prosecutors of the Sassoon office had subsequently recognized his statement. Bove repeated this claim in his letter on Thursday and accepted the resignation of Sassoon.
“You have also not successfully tense to suggest that a kind of Quid Pro quo from my guideline is created,” he wrote. “This is incorrect, as you have previously acknowledged in writing.”
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice pointed out in Bove's Monday, but further refused comments.
On Thursday, in the midst of the drama around his criminal case, Adams announced that he would allow immigration and customs enforcement agents in the Rikers Island Correctional Complex in New York. The resignation of Sassoon has stimulated the calls of New York Democrats for Adams to resign. The American representative Nydia Velazquez pointed to the letter from Sassoon and said it showed an “explicit quid pro quo”.
