As federal prosecutors unveiled corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Gov. Kathy Hochul's public presence highlighted her cautious approach toward the mayor amid growing investigations.
Hochul, who often collaborated with Adams, is facing a dilemma as he faces serious indictment counts including bribery and wire fraud, with pressure mounting on her to respond.
Despite being an ally, Hochul's public praise for Adams has tapered off as investigations escalate, placing her in a precarious position regarding her relationship with the embattled mayor.
Adams insists on his innocence and plans to remain in office, creating a complex political landscape as Hochul could potentially exercise her power to remove the mayor.
