‘Today we can’t trust the DOJ,' says fmr US Attorney as he weighs in on prosecutors dropping controversial case against NYC Mayor

from Furthermore with Amanda Head

On this episode of the podcast, Former United States Attorney Bud Cummins breaks down the bribery and corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, as well as the controversial decision by President Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to drop them -- a decision that has sparked multiple resignations. Cummins shares his skepticism about the case, pointing to Adams’ acceptance of gifts and trips over the span of one decade, with a total evaluation of around $125,000 — questioning the strength of the federal prosecutors evidence. He takes rightful aim at the DOJ’s lack of trust and political interference in this day and age, drawing comparisons to his own experiences while serving as a political appointee of President George W. Bush and under Attorney General John Ashcroft.Furthermore, Cummins shines light on the shocking case of Brian Malinowski, who was fatally shot by federal agents during a raid, underscoring the urgent need for DOJ reform and accountability.You can follow Bud on X (formerly Twitter) by searching for his handle: @BudCumminsAR.
