The New York Times reports:
Mayor Eric Adams of New York faced increasingly loud calls to resign Friday, one day after a fuller picture of the arrangement that led to the U.S. Justice Department seeking to drop corruption charges against him began to emerge. And Mr. Adams himself appeared on “Fox and Friends” on Friday with President Trump’s border czar, Thomas Homan, where he said that he was not “standing in the way” of deportation efforts, unlike many of his fellow Democrats. “I’m collaborating,” he said.
Still, Mr. Homan did not seem satisfied. He attacked Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is facing growing pressure to use her power to remove Mr. Adams from office, as Mr. Adams sat by silently. And he seemed to threaten the mayor himself, saying he would face consequences if he did not cooperate closely enough. “If he doesn’t come through, I’ll be back in New York City and we won’t be sitting on a couch. I’ll be in his office, up his butt, saying where the hell is the agreement we came to?”
CBS News reports:
The acting heads of the Justice Department’s criminal and public integrity divisions, Kevin Driscoll and his deputy, John Keller, also recently resigned from their posts at Justice Department headquarters in Washington in the wake of the Adams case, according to three separate people familiar with the moves. On Thursday night, three additional senior officials within the Justice Department’s public integrity section resigned in response to the Adams case, two sources confirmed, bringing the total number of resignations over the case to six.
CNN reported just now that a seventh DOJ prosecutor has handed in his notice today. The first link above is a live-blog, as the Adams story has turned into a national shitstorm.
