Mayor Eric Adams Faces Historic Federal Charges Amid Calls for Resignation

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has made history by becoming the first sitting mayor to face federal criminal charges, although the details of the indictment remain sealed. Adams, who has been in office for nearly three years, previously focused on crime reduction and city revitalization but has faced criticism for his handling of the migrant issue. Following a series of federal investigations involving his administration, several top officials, including the police commissioner, have resigned. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for Adams to resign due to the ongoing investigations and numerous vacancies in the government. In response to her comments, Adams expressed surprise and labeled her remarks as "noise," insinuating they were racially charged.
