New York City Mayor Eric Adams faced another setback over the weekend as his top legal adviser, Lisa Zornberg, abruptly resigned from her position. Zornberg had been providing legal counsel to Adams and other city officials for over a year, handling legal matters and interacting with the press on behalf of the Mayor. Her resignation was announced by City Hall late Saturday night, citing her inability to effectively serve in her role.
The resignation comes amidst a backdrop of federal investigations targeting members of Adams' administration. Recently, federal investigators seized the phones of several key figures in the Mayor's inner circle, including the police commissioner who resigned last Thursday, citing the distraction caused by the investigations.
