The second top federal prosecutor resigned from the Ministry of Justice of the United States due to the pressure of President Donald Trump’s administration.

Reuters news agency reported that Denise Cheung left her place on Tuesday after led by the Criminal Department of the US lawyer for District Columbia.

In her resignation letter, which was received by several US newspaper agencies, she emphasized her long career in the civil service.

“I have been proud to serve in the US Ministry of Justice and this office for over 24 years,” Cheung wrote.

“I repaid the oath to support and defend the Constitution and faithfully commit that duty.”

But she explained that she had been ordered to resign after refusing to launch a criminal investigation she thought was not deserved.

The requested investigation has to do with a contract allocated under the administration of Trump’s predecessor and former election rival, Democrat Joe Biden.

Cheung wrote that she was asked to initiate an investigation into a large jury on the legality of the contract. But she indicated that, after research, she did not find evidence to justify such a probe.

Then she was asked to seek the freezing of the property, preventing the funds to be paid under the contract.

So Cheung sent the bank included “Recommended by a 30-day administrative freezing on a particular property.”

But officials in Trump’s administration encouraged her to send another letter, stating that the request came as part of a criminal investigation.

Cheung identified Ed Martin, a temporary head of the American Lawyer’s Lawyer in Washington, as one of the officials who give her an order. She approached him with a letter.

“When I explained that Quantus did not support the action, you stated that you believed there was enough evidence,” she wrote.

“Based on the evidence I have examined, I still do not believe that there is enough evidence to issue a letter you described, including enough evidence that will tell the bank that there is a likely reason to determine certain accounts.”

Trump announced On Monday, he nominated Martin to take the role of an American lawyer permanently.

Martin activist, Martin helped raise money for rebellions involved in the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, led by Trump supporters.

He also played a role in organizing a “stop theft” together, which expanded the false claim that Trump’s defeat in 2020 due to the voter fraud.

Cheung said her actions are needed to support the Standard of the American Lawyer. “Everything we do is rooted in monitoring the facts and laws and respect for our moral, ethical and legal obligations,” she wrote.

Her departure on Tuesday was the last in a series of residues of the Ministry of Justice, as prosecutors deny the actions they consider to be a Trump non -ethical.

Last week, at least seven lawyers of the Ministry of Justice left its place after Trump’s administration invited them to dismiss the corruption against New York Mayor Eric Adams.

Trump and Adams recently had approaching, and the mayor agreed to participate in the presidential initiatives for immigration.

Several lawyers of the Ministry of Justice have stated that the decision to reject charges against Adams is politically motivated, not on the basis of evidence.

“Every US lawyer’s assistant would know that our laws and traditions do not allow the use of prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, even less chosen officials, in this way,” said Prosecutor Hagan Scotten in his resignation letter.

“If no lawyer in the back of the president is ready to give him that advice, then I expect you to find someone who is a fool or enough cowards to submit your proposal in the end. But it will never be me.”

The acting of the Commissioner of the Administration of Social Insurance, Michelle King, also resigned during the weekend after attempting the Ministry of Efficiency of the Government (Doge) to access sensitive personal information.

On Tuesday, at a press conference from his MAR-a-Lazla Lazla Restaurant in Florida, Trump briefly addressed King’s departure, implying that he did not willingly resign.

“When you release someone, they always resign, and then they say,” We are answered, “he said, accusing the social insurance administration for the” mass fraud “. However, he did not offer evidence to substantiate that claim.
