House Democrats examine the decision of the Ministry of Justice to fall Eric Adam's indictment

Washington – Two top democrats of the House judicial committee have initiated an investigation by the Ministry of Justice to dismiss Charge against the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams,.

In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Sunday, the reps accused. Jamie Raskin from Maryland and Jasmine Crockett from Texas to the Ministry of Justice to cover up a suspected consideration in order to fell corruption against Adams if he supported the Trump administration in carrying out their immigration policy.

“In the past month, disturbing reports on the demand for the Trump government have emerged that the public prosecutor's office of the state interest against the serious public corruption against the New York Mayor Eric Adams in the context of an obvious and illegal Quid -Pro quo to secure the mayor's execution and deportation of the mayor,” says the letter.

“The Ministry of Justice (DOJ) not only tried to put the career lawyer under pressure to carry out this illegal, strong professional quo, it also seems that the deputy attorney in general Emil Bove was personally used with the destruction of evidence and retaliation against the public prosecutor, which refused to follow his illegal and unethical orders,” continued it. “We write to demand that you put an end to the cover -up and retaliation and provide the congress documents and information about these disruptive accounts.”

Adams, a democrat, was charged in five cases in September, including violations of bribery, conspiracy and campaign financing. He was accused of having accepted illegal campaign donations, flight improvements and other travel advantages of a Turkish official and other foreigners in exchange for political favors. He was not guilty of all charges.

Bove in February instructed Federal prosecutors in New York to drop the corruption case, citing Adams' “restricted” ability to help the Trump government enforce their immigration policy.

The move to drop the fees caused the resignation Danielle Sasso, the top career state prosecutor Danielle Sasso's top career, said the application for “serious concerns that the dismissal in consideration is not with my ability and duty to pursue federal crimes without fear or favor, and to make the prerequisite for good arguments in front of the court.”

“It is a breathtaking and dangerous precedent, Adam's opportunistic and changing obligations for immigration and other political matters with rejecting a criminal charges. A court will probably not find that such a wrong exchange with the public interest,” wrote Sassoon.

The fees still have to be officially dropped.

In her letter to the Ministry of Justice, Raskin and Crockett said that the department is “far away from the principles of equal justice in accordance with the law by referring a serious public corruption matters in exchange for support in the immigration priorities of the White House.”

“Unfortunately, this is another example of the Trump -Doj, which allows criminals to be free -whether they attacked police officers, sold drugs to the community or are corrupt politicians -as long as the criminal President Trump promises loyalty,” they wrote.

Legislators have asked the Ministry of Justice to hand over notes in connection with a meeting between the prosecutors and the lawyers of Adams and asked whether one of the documents was destroyed. They also requested the communications from the White House and the Ministry of Justice in connection with the investigation of Adams. They gave Bondi a deadline on March 17th.

But Raskin and Crockett, who are in the minority party, have a limited authority to take measures against the Ministry of Justice if their inquiries are rejected.
