New York City Mayor Eric Adams' administration is subject to a series of federal investigations that are spurring calls for his resignation.
On Saturday night, Adams’ top legal counsel Lisa Zornberg abruptly quit. “It has been a great honor to serve the City,” she wrote in a letter announcing her decision. “I am tendering my resignation, effective today, as I have concluded that I can no longer effectively serve in my position.”
The feds seized New York City Police Commissioner Edward A. Caban’s electronics a week earlier, leading to Caban’slast Thursday. Devices belonging to Caban’s chief of staff, two precinct captains, and Caban’s twin brother, James Caban, were also seized. Adams, a former police officer, was publicly close to the father of the Caban twins, and Edward Caban rose quickly through the ranks of the NYPD. Authorities are“Edward Caban concluded that this is the best decision at this time.
In a press conference on Monday, Adams attempted to distance himself from the arrest of the two former fire chiefs, telling reporters that the alleged scheme started “under another administration,” and had no bearing on the problems plaguing his own. On Friday, Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher wrote on X that New York City deserves “a new mayor. A mayor who cuts education, library budgets, and parks, who surrounds himself with criminals and alleged corruption up to the very top, does not deserve our trust.”
