New York Governor Considers Removing Mayor Eric Adams Over Corruption Allegations

Governor Kathy Hochul weighs unprecedented action as political fallout intensifies following resignations and accusations of misconduct.

Governor Kathy Hochul is exploring the possibility of removing New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office, citing concerns over corruption allegations and recent administrative instability.
Four of Adams' deputy mayors, including Maria Torres-Springer, resigned, raising questions about the administration's ability to govern effectively.
Adams has been accused of accepting illegal foreign campaign donations and offering political favors in exchange, allegations he vehemently denies.
The U.S. Department of Justice controversially dropped its corruption case against Adams, prompting backlash and resignations from several prosecutors who alleged political interference by the Trump administration.
Adams' close alignment with President Donald Trump, particularly on immigration policy, has drawn criticism from his own Democratic Party and fueled calls for his resignation.
