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.
Speaking to MSNBC, Hochul said she is consulting with officials about next steps regarding the matter, as she is the only official in the state who has the power to remove Adams from office. "The allegations are extremely concerning and serious, but I cannot as the governor of this state have a knee-jerk, politically motivated reaction like a lot of other people are saying right now," Hochul said.
