Its authenticity was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person who received the letter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no greater privilege than to work for an institution whose mandate is to do the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons,&#8221; the prosecutors wrote. &#8220;We will not abandon this principle to keep our jobs. We resign.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letter came the same day that Jay Clayton, former chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, was sworn in as the New York office&#8217;s new interim top prosecutor. Clayton said in a statement he &#8220;would like to thank President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for this remarkable opportunity.&#8221; Mr. Trump also nominated Clayton to lead the office on a permanent basis, but he has not yet been confirmed by the Senate.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/nyc-mayor-eric-adams-indicted-bribery-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Adams was indicted last year<\/a><\/span>, accused of taking illegal campaign contributions and travel perks from a Turkish official and others seeking to buy influence when he previously served as Brooklyn borough president.<\/p>\n<p>In February, after Mr. Trump took office, the Justice Department ordered then-acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Sassoon, to drop the charges against Adams \u2014 not due to the merits of the case, but rather so the mayor could assist in the Trump administration&#8217;s immigration agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Emil Bove, then the acting deputy attorney general, suggested that Adams was being prosecuted because he had criticized former President Joe Biden&#8217;s immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/nyc-mayor-adams-danielle-sassoon-quid-pro-quo-allegations\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Sassoon opted to resign instead<\/a><\/span>, accusing the department of a &#8220;quid pro quo&#8221; and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-attorney-manhattan-danielle-sassoon-quits-justice-dept-drops-eric-adams-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">saying she was<\/a><\/span> &#8220;baffled&#8221; by the department&#8217;s decisions. She also argued &#8220;dismissing the case will amplify, rather than abate, concerns about weaponization of the Department,&#8221; and revealed prosecutors had considered bringing other charges against Adams for allegedly making false statements and destroying evidence. Several other career prosecutors resigned after Sassoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/video\/charges-dismissed-against-nyc-mayor-eric-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">The Adams case was eventually dismissed<\/a><\/span> in April, though Judge Dale E.
