New York State officials are determining the legal avenues available to remove a sitting mayor, as Eric Adams faces federal indictment for serious charges.
A spokesperson for Governor Hochul acknowledged that they are reviewing obscure legal codes that could potentially allow for the mayor's removal from office.
The city charter specifies that a mayor can be removed upon charges, provided they have an opportunity to present a defense.
Governor Hochul emphasized the need to maintain public confidence amid the ongoing situation, reflecting on her experience with former Governor Cuomo's resignation.
