Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for NYC Mayor Eric Adams to resign or be removed after revelations that his legal team allegedly sought a deal to dismiss his corruption charges in exchange for aiding federal immigration enforcement.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon described this as a “quid pro quo” in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The controversy has led to multiple Justice Department resignations.
Gov. Kathy Hochul has not decided whether to take action, while Adams praised the case’s dismissal.
The Adams election was like a preview of the Trump election for me. Many of us saw this man was a corrupt, lying egomaniac well before the election, because so much of the reporting made it crystal clear. And we did our part by spreading the word and voting against him, and in the end none of it mattered one iota because voters disliked de Blasio (Biden) and wanted a major change and were too dumb to see Adams (Trump) for what he actually was.
