A document that was not sealed on Tuesday from a criminal case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams was able to ask a question about the testimony of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche during his senate confirmation session.
During the trial, Blanche was asked about the decision of the Department of Justice to cancel the accusation of corruption against Adams.

“What did I just see with the dismissal of Adams’ accusations, which was directed by DC, right?” Democratic senator Peter Welch asked.
“I have the same information as you have,” answered Blanche. “I don’t know what I am exceeding what I am [seen] reported publicly. “
However, a new concept letter was not sealed from US lawyer Danielle Sassoon at that time suggested Blanche might know more than he left.

Sassoon, who fought against the directions to cancel the Mayor’s case, wrote that he expressed concern for high -ranking officials Doj Emil Bove that the big decision regarding the high profile case had to wait until Blanche was confirmed. In response, Sassoon wrote that “Bove tells me that Todd Blanche is on the ‘same page.'”
Sassoon will resign rather than complying Bove’s command to cancel the Mayor’s case.
The draft letter to the Attorney General Pam Bondi is between the material stages ordered without being sealed by Judge Dale Ho, who is still considering whether to reject the case of Adams.
The Department of Justice insisted Blanche did not play a role in the determination to find dismissal.
“Todd Blanche was not involved in the department’s decision making before confirmation,” a spokesman said in a statement given to ABC News.
The Mayor’s lawyer said that a letter that was not sealed was further evidence that the case had to be thrown.
“As I have said from the beginning, this fake case that requires ‘gymnastics’ to find crimes – is based on ‘political motives’ and ‘ambition’, not facts or laws. The more we learn about what actually happened behind the scenes, the clearer Mayor’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Lawyer,” Alex, Alex, Alex, “Mayor’s lawyer, Alex, Alex, Alex,” Mayor’s lawyer, Alex, Alex.
