The marriage of Sheena Wright and David C. Banks, key figures in Mayor Adams’s administration, performed amidst a backdrop of federal investigations highlights the challenges facing the city leadership.
Legal experts noted that the marriage may afford Mr. Banks and Ms. Wright the protection of spousal privilege, allowing them to decline to testify against each other if needed.
The couple had plans for their wedding well before their names surfaced in the criminal investigations, indicating that personal and professional lives are increasingly intertwined.
Their wedding comes shortly after Mayor Eric Adams pleaded not guilty to charges, further staying intertwined with the investigations shadowing his administration.
