Mayor Eric Adams accepted the resignation of deputy mayor Philip Banks, who sought to transition for his own reasons amid ongoing federal investigations involving multiple top officials.
Adams expressed support for Banks, stating he 'wants to transition to some other things' and emphasized the need to focus on the city's work without burdens.
As five senior officials exit his administration, Mayor Adams has resisted resignation calls, asserting confidence that once the 'true story' emerges, New Yorkers will understand.
Federal prosecutors are conducting investigations into multiple avenues, including alleged illicit activities of the Banks family consulting firm, further complicating the mayor's administration.
