New York has inaugurated a brand-new mayor, but investigators and prosecutors will be processing the wreckage of Eric Adams's scandal-plagued administration for years to come. The mountain of corruption seems to be far taller and stinkier than was generally known, and the ex-mayor has been busy adding new offal to the heap. Just last week, Adams called reporters to Times Square, where he began hyping a digital asset called the NYC Token.

After Donlon filed the suit, Sheppard said during a live television appearance that Donlon was showing many signs of cognitive issues and that the FBI had seized Donlon's phones. And at a closed-door meeting with civic leaders, Adams said Donlon had recently refused to take part in a mental health check-up, according to court filings. The falsity of Defendants' statements is not a close question.

Former New York City mayor Eric Adams snapped as he was harassed on a Dallas jet bridge on Tuesday, telling a heckler, Go f*ck yourself in a video that has since gone viral. The confrontation, filmed by another passenger and originally posted on Reddit, shows Adams trading barbs with a masked flyer as they disembark a flight from New York to Texas.

You saw everyday Americans who fought for the education of their children being put on watch lists, I think you saw what happened with Charlie Kirk, when you saw the raiding of President Trump's home. Debates should have happened ... I think that you're seeing the clear indication that the Justice Department under the previous administration used lawfare to go after those who disagree with them," he added.

The first mayor tasked with implementing the city's Streets Master Plan pitched himself on the campaign trail as someone who wouldn't just hit the goals of the plan but surpass them. Yet four years later, the closest Adams's Department of Transportation came to the master plan's mandatory 50 miles of bike lanes per year was 31.7 miles in 2023. Mayor Adams oversaw a DOT that installed just 15 miles of new bus lanes in three years, when the law required 80.

I really want New Yorkers to use my journey as a symbol, Adams said, describing his decision to return to the precinct. Even in the darkest moments of your life, it's about how you turn pain into purpose. Adams recalled that the incident at the 103rd Precinct pushed him toward activism and eventually a career in law enforcement, rather than bitterness. Sometimes we don't realize the darkest moments of your life are not a burial, but it's a planting, he said.

At an event hosted by the Combat Antisemitism Movement in Tel Aviv, held in his honor, Adams spoke about the rising rates of antisemitism. I think this is a period where they need to be very conscious that there's a level of global hostility towards the Jewish community. If I were a Jewish New Yorker, I'd be concerned about my children, said Adams. There is something to be worried about.

We recognize that we are in a different place today than we were nearly four years ago, and our policies should match the realities of the times, Adams said. That's why we are updating our policies to reflect our new health and economic reality, as we look forward to welcoming back many of our former employees to their former positions. Ensuring New York City has the strongest workforce possible will continue to make our city safer, more affordable, and the best place to raise a family.

He was supposed to meet with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama shortly after arriving Monday and also had plans to "visit local businesses and factories," an advisory from the mayor's office says. It wasn't immediately clear who else he's expected to meet with on the remaining days of his trip, though the advisory says Adams plans on sitting down with "government, business and tech leaders to promote economic activity and tourism to New York City."

Merely a month ago, he stood before all of us reporters at Gracie Mansion and he said 'Andrew Cuomo is a snake and a liar' and 'I am in this to win this' and 'I'm the one that can beat Mamdani.' The next day, my colleagues and I wrote a story saying that nobody believes Eric Adams, that we all still think that there's a chance that he was going to suspend his campaign,

"What happened when Trump got elected was the federal anti-corruption sheriff rode off into the sunset... What's left in its wake is this lawlessness. What we're seeing here is a clear example of what that looks like," John Kaehny, executive director of government watchdog organization Reinvent Albany, told Politico.

Multiple corruption scandals have embroiled his administration, and he and his closest aides were indicted. Even before the indictments arrived, he was bleeding out support. Adams was not a mayor devoid of accomplishments, but he had fewer of them than his predecessors and rarely seemed to be engaged with the mechanics of governing. New Yorkers wearied of his act and it became clear, more than a year ago, he had no serious path to a second term.
