The top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, one of the most powerful figures in US law enforcement, has quit following an order from Donald Trump’s administration to drop the corruption prosecution of New York City mayor Eric Adams.
美国执法界最有权势的人物之一、曼哈顿最高联邦检察官在唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)政府下令撤销对纽约市市长埃里克•亚当斯(Eric Adams)腐败案起诉后辞职。
Danielle Sassoon, a veteran prosecutor who took over as US attorney for the Southern District of New York in December in an acting capacity, resigned from the position on Thursday afternoon, according to a spokesperson for the office.
据纽约南区联邦检察官办公室发言人称,12月以代理身份接任纽约南区检察官一职的资深检察官丹妮尔•沙逊(Danielle Sassoon)于周四下午辞去了这一职务。
Trump’s new leadership at the Department of Justice had directed the Manhattan office to halt the prosecution of Adams, who was charged last year with accepting illegal foreign campaign contributions and doing official favours on behalf of Turkey’s government.
特朗普在司法部的新领导层指示曼哈顿办公室停止对亚当斯的起诉。亚当斯去年被指控接受非法的外国竞选捐款,并代表土耳其政府的利益提供官方便利。
