NYT: 3 More Prosecutors Resign Over Adams Case, Refusing to Admit Wrongdoing
NYT - (archived: https://archive.ph/6vYYk ) 3 More Prosecutors Resign Over Adams Case, Refusing to Admit Wrongdoing

Three Manhattan federal prosecutors who worked on the criminal corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams of New York City said Tuesday that they would resign rather than admit wrongdoing in refusing to abandon the case, according to an email obtained by The New York Times.
The prosecutors were placed on administrative leave this year after Trump administration officials in Washington ordered them to seek dismissal of the bribery and fraud charges.
In the email, the prosecutors — Celia V. Cohen, Andrew Rohrbach and Derek Wikstrom — said that Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, had placed a condition on reinstating them: “that we must express regret and admit some wrongdoing by the office in connection with the refusal to move to dismiss the case.
“We will not confess wrongdoing when there was none,” they wrote.
