NBC News: Gov. Kathy Hochul won't remove embattled NYC Mayor Eric Adams -- for now [View all]

NBC News - Gov. Kathy Hochul won't remove embattled NYC Mayor Eric Adams — for now

But the state leader insists she'll have guardrails in place to keep watch on the indicted Big Apple chief executive.

By Adam Reiss and David K. Li

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will — for the time being — not remove embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office, but will instead impose limits to his office's power, a source with direct knowledge told NBC News on Thursday.

Hochul in recent weeks has been pressured to exercise her power to take Adams out of Gracie Mansion after the mayor's indictment last year on a host corruption allegations.

Adams has insisted on his innocence and refused to resign.

The Trump administration is in the process of trying to drop all charges against Adams, while also telling the mayor he needs to help federal authorities carry out immigration raids in America's largest city.
