Eric Adams Faces Imminent Resignations From Top Officials As Fallout Over Corruption Charges Dismissal Continues

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is reportedly facing imminent resignations from top officials as fallout over the dismissal of his corruption charges continues.

Adams reportedly had a virtual meeting on Sunday with three deputy mayors — First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres Springer, Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi and Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams Isom — who expressed their desire to resign, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC New York.

Although a spokesperson for the mayor's office told the outlet that no deputy mayors have submitted resignations, the sources quoted said that the mayor's meeting intended to slow their decision or keep it from being announced publicly.

Deputy Mayor Chauncey Parker was also said to have attended the meeting and also had expressed desire to step away from the administration, sources told NBC New York.

The deputy mayors' impending decisions come as several officials have expressed dismay at the Department of Justice's decision to dismiss Adams' corruption charges. The announcement triggered a slew of resignations from federal officials, with former federal prosecutor Danielle Sassoon calling the decision "a breathtaking and dangerous precedent to reward Adams's opportunistic and shifting commitments on immigration."

As some officials have raised concerns about alleged quid pro quo between the Donald Trump administration and Eric Adams, claiming that the latter's charges had been dismissed in exchange for his administration cooperating with the Trump administrations' mass deportations, the mayor has denied the claims and vowed to stay in office.

"I am going nowhere," the mayor told two Queens church congregations, as reported by WABC.

Torres Springer, Joshi and Williams Isom had reportedly voiced their concerns about the mayor's relationship with the Trump administration during a meeting Friday, where they also first expressed their desire to resign.

Adams appeared with Border Czar Tom Homan on Fox News to announce their renewed partnership to work on ICE's deportation efforts in New York City.

Meanwhile, protests have sprung up across the city calling for Gov. Kathy Hochul to remove Adams. One group, New York Communities for Change, said they plan on protesting every Monday outside City Hall until Adams steps down or is removed, CBS News reported.
