Alex Spiro, Mayor Eric Adams’ lawyer, says he wants the bribery charge thrown out and “the rest of this case is nothing but a campaign finance case.” He says the case relies on one staffer and prosecutors are hiding that she’s lying.

Alex Spiro, the mayor’s lawyer, is criticizing prosecutors for “leaking” the indictment and raids to the media which he says is a “grave breach of the public’s trust.”
He and Mayor Eric Adams believe that “New Yorkers will see through this.”

I asked Mayor Eric Adams about Pearson’s resignation as he left the church and if it’s what’s best for the city. He declined to comment: “When we make a notification, we notify and let everybody know.”

[Quoted tweet]
Mayor Eric Adams is at a church in Queens talking about growing up poor and melting snow for water and women from the church dropping off half eaten groceries when his family didn’t have food. He says you can’t make progress in the city without spirituality: “It’s time to pray.”

During a stop at Emmanuel Presbyterian Reformed Church @NYCMayor this Sunday, Adams reiterated he's not going anywhere: "I'm not going to resign, I'm going to reign."

It's fairly significant that Al Sharpton is explicitly asking Hochul not to invoke her authority to remove Adams from office. She is highly unlikely to take that step without key support from elected officials and Black leaders like Sharpton Rev. Al Sharpton urges Gov. Hochul not to remove Mayor Adams from office ahead of trial

Team Adams: we can have a little bit of corruption and grift as a treat

[Quoted tweet]
Top Adams advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin going on a radio show and saying, in effect, sure we stole a little and broke the law a little, but not that much is wild.

It speaks to the brazen nature of it all. Also, wow, that’s really not smart.

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown has announced his resignation and intention to accept the CEO job at Western Regional Off-Track Betting.

He confirms he will take “several” staffers from City Hall with him.

His decision to leave his current role as Buffalo Mayor and take on the CEO position at Western Regional Off-Track Betting is surprising and concerning.
