“Manhattan’s U.S. attorney on Thursday resigned just days after she was ordered to drop the corruption case against New York City’s mayor,” the New York Times reports.
“Then, when Justice Department officials sought to transfer the case to the public integrity section in Washington, which oversees corruption cases, the two men who led that unit also resigned.
”“The resignations represent the most high-profile public resistance so far to President Trump’s tightening control over the Justice Department.”
