New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she doesn't rule out removing NYC Mayor Eric Adams from his post over allegations that he engaged in a "quid pro quo" with the Donald Trump administration, agreeing to help enforce its immigration crackdown in exchange for the dismissal of the charges against him.

The Justice Department’s recent instruction to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams has prompted a wave of resignations from key federal prosecutors on Thursday, including one attorney who said the order “amounted to a quid pro quo.

The Democratic governor called the latest allegations about Adams’ legal defense against corruption charges “extremely concerning and serious.”
