New York City Mayor Eric Adams has dismissed calls for his resignation following a court appearance related to corruption allegations. Despite the Justice Department’s request to drop charges, the case has triggered political turmoil, including multiple high-profile resignations.
A federal judge questioned the motion to dismiss, while seven prosecutors resigned in protest. Several deputy mayors also stepped down, citing concerns about governance.
Adams denies any wrongdoing and insists he will remain in office. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hochul is monitoring the situation, considering potential actions regarding the mayor’s future.
