DOJ fires prosecutor after Adani case dismissal sparks questions

A federal prosecutor who had been assigned to the now-defunct case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani was fired by the Trump administration after the government moved to drop the indictment. Adani faced charges in 2024 alleging a scheme to defraud U.S. investors to win a bid to develop India’s largest solar power plant; U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis later tossed the case, criticizing the government’s conduct, while the DOJ defended the dismissal. The firing adds to reports of the administration replacing personnel after high-profile investigations, sometimes via what insiders call Article II letters.

The victims’ families plan a civil suit, while the new district attorney says he may refer the case to federal prosecutors for review.

The move follows a broader pattern of protest-related immigration prosecutions that have struggled at trial, drawing criticism from Huerta and his attorneys while the DOJ insists it does not target peaceful protesters.

Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Case Dismissed Amid Legal Drama

Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial for the fatal shooting of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was dismissed by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer due to significant prosecutorial errors, including the concealment of evidence. Legal experts describe the trial as a "comedy of errors" and a major embarrassment for the New Mexico legal system. The dismissal means Baldwin cannot be charged again for this incident, and the case is expected to be studied for years as an example of prosecutorial misconduct.
