The top federal prosecutor in New York and two senior Justice Department officials have resigned after a demand by the Trump administration to drop corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, people familiar with the resignations said.

Danielle Sassoon, the acting U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, resigned after refusing to comply with the order. Her resignation was confirmed by Nick Biase, a spokesman for the Southern District, but he did not address the reason.

Kevin Driscoll, a deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s criminal division, also resigned. A longtime career official, Driscoll’s portfolio included the Public Integrity Section, which is responsible for investigations related to elected officials. John D. Keller — acting chief of the public integrity section — resigned as well, the people said.
