He Refused to Drop Charges Against Eric Adams. Now He’s Running for Congress.
Proud prosecutors tend to talk about the defendants they sent to prison, not the ones who went free. Ryan Crosswell leads with the latter.
Crosswell is running for Congress in eastern Pennsylvania, and while knocking on doors there last week, he introduced himself to voters by explaining that he was one of the federal prosecutors who quit rather than agreeing to drop the criminal case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. Crosswell was a member of the Justice Department’s elite Public Integrity Section, which has been obliterated in all but name under the Trump administration.
