New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is meeting with "key leader" in Manhattan Tuesday to discuss "the path forward," weighing whether to remove the New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who has been accused of engaging in a "quid pro quo" with the Trump administration following a call from The Justice Department to have his corruption case dropped. Concretely, prosecutors who resigned following the DOJ's orders said Adams would be exchanging increased immigration enforcement for the dropping of the corruption charges against him.
In this context, the prospect of his removal has raised the question about what will happen if Adams is indeed removed by Hochul.
