0:06.7 | Acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General, Emil Beauvais, ordered the Southern District of New York to dismiss the bribery and fraud charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. |
0:18.2 | The acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District, Danielle Sassoon, refused to file |
0:23.7 | the motion to dismiss and resigned in protest, along with several other top DOJ officials. |
0:30.2 | Emil Beauvais then put all public integrity section lawyers into a room and told them they |
0:35.2 | would all be fired if someone didn't volunteer to file the motion within an hour. |
