Gov. Kathy Hochul assembling ‘key leaders’ to discuss next move on Eric Adams after shocking deputy mayors resignations

Gov. Kathy Hochul has assembled “key leaders” for a series of meetings Tuesday at her Manhattan office to discuss Mayor Eric Adams’ future after half of his deputy mayors stepped down Monday.

Hochul announced the dramatic move in a Monday night statement and cited the “troubling” allegations swirling around Adams and the shocking resignations of his four crucial aides, including First Deputy mayor Maria Torres-Springer, earlier in the day.
