New York Governor Kathy Hochul has not ruled out the possibility of removing Mayor Eric Adams from office following allegations involving a potential quid pro quo relating to a federal criminal case. Hochul emphasized the seriousness of the accusations, including claims made by former Manhattan U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, while asserting the need for a thoughtful response rather than a hasty political reaction. Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado has also called for Adams’ resignation, criticizing him for being overly aligned with President Trump during a crackdown on illegal immigration.
The allegations are extremely concerning and serious, but I cannot as the governor of this state have a knee-jerk, politically motivated reaction like a lot of other people are saying right now.
I have to do what's smart, what's right and I'm consulting with other leaders in government at this time.
New York City deserves a Mayor accountable to the people, not beholden to the President.
Allegations that Adams' attorneys offered a quid pro quo for federal charges dismissal are being seriously considered.
