Multiple top NYC officials set to quit over Eric Adams scandal: report
At least four deputy mayors to Eric Adams are expected to resign amid fury over the Donald Trump administration's order to dismiss charges against the New York City leader, according to a new report.
The resignations would be the latest fallout following accusations that Adams was involved in a "quid pro quo" agreement with Trump to get rid of corruption charges in exchange for backing the president's immigration agenda.
Last week, seven federal prosecutors resigned as the Department of Justice dropped the corruption charges. The legal move came after Adams, a Democrat, publicly agreed to work with the Trump administration's efforts to rid New York City of undocumented migrants.
The New York Times reported that First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer, plus deputy mayors Meera Joshi, Anne Williams-Isom, and Chauncey Parker were all expected to tender their resignations in protest in the coming days.
Adams has been resisting calls for his resignation. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has not said whether she will remove him from office.
