"People come in and out of government...Some people are departing because they want to do something else with their lives," said Adams. "There's nothing wrong with that. And some people we thought were not a good fit."
"I would never instruct anyone to do anything that's improper. Never have. Never will do that," Adams said regarding the charges levied against Bahi.
The avalanche of departures continued. First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright resigned on Tuesday and was replaced by Maria Torres-Springer, who was the former deputy mayor for Housing, Economic Development and Workforce.
Mohamed Bahi, a senior liaison to the city's Muslim community in the mayor's Community Affairs Unit, was arrested and charged on Tuesday with witness tampering and destruction of evidence in connection to the federal case against Adams.
