Summary
Four New York City deputy mayors resigned amid growing controversy over allegations that Mayor Eric Adams engaged in a quid pro quo to have federal corruption charges dropped.
The Justice Department directed the Southern District of New York to dismiss the case, prompting resignations within the U.S. attorney’s office.
Governor Kathy Hochul and other top Democrats are weighing options, including potential removal.
Adams remains defiant and insists he can lead through turmoil as critics demand his resignation. A federal judge is expected to rule on the case’s dismissal soon.
TIL, i guess o should have looked into that rather than just making an assumption and running with it.
