House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated on Thursday that New York City Mayor Eric Adams should not resign despite facing charges of illegal foreign contributions, wire fraud, and bribery. Jeffries emphasized that Adams is “entitled to the presumption of innocence” and should be allowed to face a trial.

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.
