Three Manhattan federal prosecutors on Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption case resigned in protest Tuesday — accusing the Justice Department of pressuring them to say they regretted bringing the case. Celia Cohen, Andrew Rohrbach and Derek Wikstrom ripped DOJ Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for leaning on them to lie and “express regret” about the case — which charged Adams with taking travel perk bribes from Turks — in order to get their jobs back. “We will not confess wrongdoing when there was none,” the three prosecutors, who had been placed on “administrative leave,” wrote in a scathing one-page letter obtained by The Post.
