Sen. Andrew Gounardes, who previously served as Mayor Adams' legal advisor, called for the mayor's resignation following federal bribery charges, despite having previously approved Adams' trips.
Sources close to Mayor Adams criticized Gounardes as hypocritical for calling for resignation, stating he had a responsibility as general counsel to address the legality of those gifts and trips.
Gounardes defended his stance by mentioning that his role did not involve scrutinizing Adams' foreign trips, attributing this responsibility to Adams' former special counsel, Ama Dwimoh.
While Gounardes demands accountability, he faces criticism for his former role during the period in question, leading some insiders to label him a "hypocrite".
