First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright is expected to resign as soon as Friday night, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. She would become the latest domino to fall as investigations swirl around the New York City mayor and members of his administration.
Wright shares that home with outgoing NYC Schools Chancellor David Banks. Banks recently announced retirement plans that would transition him out at the end of the year, but he later said NYC Mayor Eric Adams was told during his second court appearance that he could face more charges in addition to the five counts the federal government brought against him. His attorney, Alex Spiro, responded to the warning by stating the move showed federal prosecutors don't have a "real case." NBC New York's Jonathan Dienst reports.
“I think anybody that would criticize me has probably never been in love,” Banks told the station. “The reality is that Sheena and I have been together for quite some time. We’ve been planning our marriage for a while.” Banks said he and Wright were motivated to get married because of their parents' ages and health issues, “and any suggestion otherwise to me is just ridiculous on its face.”
