Governor Kathy Hochul is choosing to impose legal limitations on Mayor Eric Adams' executive powers rather than pursuing his removal from office in light of corruption allegations. This decision follows a DOJ motion to dismiss Adams' federal charges and concerns about his potential ties to Trump’s administration, which could affect immigration policies. With suspicions that Adams may have engaged in a quid pro quo arrangement to benefit from DOJ leniency, Hochul seeks legislative approval to curtail his powers, indicating rising political tensions within New York's Democratic leadership.
Hochul's decision to impose legal sanctions on Adams' executive powers reflects concerns about his alleged ties to Trump's DOJ amid ongoing federal corruption investigations.
