“What I say about it is that this president is replacing the rule of law with the law of the ruler,” Auchincloss said.

“He came into office, he pardoned violent criminals from Jan. 6 insurrection, including men who tased cops in the neck. Those people are now recommitting crimes back in their communities. He fired inspectors general and federal prosecutors without cause, and now he is directly bullying the Southern District of New York to act in a corrupt manner,” Auchincloss continued.

Auchincloss praised the prosecutors for refusing to dismiss the charges, pointing specifically to Hagan Scotten, the assistant United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, who resigned from his post over the order to dismiss the case.

“That was the lead prosecutor on Eric Adams, and he resigned rather than pursue this corrupt path,” Auchincloss said. “And he said anybody who followed this order would be a fool or a coward. Now Hagan Scotten clerked for a conservative Supreme Court justice. He is no fool. He is a decorated special forces officer. He’s no coward. Can Republicans answer the same? Because right now they look like both.”
