3 Prosecutors of the Adams case resign rather than regret expressed in the judge department.

Three federal prosecutors of Manhattan who worked on the case of criminal corruption against the mayor Eric Adams of New York said on Tuesday that they would resign rather than admit reprehensible acts by refusing to abandon the case, according to an email obtained by the New York Times.

The prosecutors were put on administrative leave this year after officials of Trump’s administration in Washington ordered them to request the dismissal of corruption and fraud charges.

In the email, the prosecutors – Celia V. Cohen, Andrew Rohrbach and Derek Wiksrom – said that Todd Blanche, the assistant prosecutor, had placed a condition on reintegration: “that we must express regrets and admit acts of reprehensible by the office in connection with the refusal to move to reject the case.

“We will not confess reprehensible acts when there was none,” they wrote.

They wrote that they had worked under democratic and republican presidents, advancing everyone’s priorities, but that the conditions had changed during President Trump’s second term.

“Now, the ministry has decided that obedience replaces everything else, forcing us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of Washington’s instructions,” they wrote.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice did not immediately respond to a comment request.

The resignation of the prosecutors coincided with the first day of work for Jay Clayton, the newly installed American lawyer in Manhattan, adding to the feeling of tumult of this office this year. A spokesperson for the American prosecutor’s office also refused to comment on the resignations.
