The Trump administration is planning to gut the Justice Department office responsible for prosecuting public officials on corruption charges, leaving as few as five lawyers responsible for running the federal anticorruption force. The DOJ’s Public Integrity Section — established in 1976 following Watergate — recently lost several of its top prosecutors after they resigned in protest of the department dropping corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
