Hochul Meets With City Leaders to Discuss the ‘Path Forward’ for Mayor
"Gov. Kathy Hochul raised the prospect of removing Mayor Eric Adams from office late Monday and met with “key leaders” in Manhattan on Tuesday to discuss “the path forward, with the goal of ensuring stability for the City of New York.”
“Overturning the will of the voters is a serious step that should not be taken lightly,” Ms. Hochul said in a statement. “That said, the alleged conduct at City Hall that has been reported over the past two weeks is troubling and cannot be ignored.”
The governor was referring to comments from the federal prosecutor in Mr. Adams’s criminal case that the mayor’s lawyers had offered the White House a “quid pro quo” — helping President Trump’s immigration crackdown in return for dropping the charges. Her comments followed the resignations of four of Mr. Adams’s deputy mayors, including his second-in-command, amid criticism that the mayor has put his own interests above those of New Yorkers."
