Manhattan federal prosecutors were prepared to bring a new bombshell indictment charging Mayor Eric Adams with destroying evidence and telling people to lie to the FBI, a letter obtained by The Post reveals. The letter sent by Danielle Sassoon, who resigned from her post Thursday rather than obey an order from President Trump’s Justice Department to kill the case, also blasts the “rushed and superficial” reasoning she says was behind Washington, D.C., demand.

“Because the law does not support a dismissal, and because I am confident that Adams has committed the crimes with which he is charged, I cannot agree to seek a dismissal driven by improper considerations,” Sassoon, a Republican, wrote. The former clerk for conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia also explicitly accused Adams of offering to help Trump’s immigration agenda in exchange for the case being dropped.

“Rather than be rewarded, Adams’s advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case,” she wrote. The new charges would also expand on allegations that Adams asked for illegal donations from Turkish nationals as part of a “fraudulent straw donor scheme,” the letter reveals.
