Four city deputy mayors have already expressed their intention to resign.
In the United States, the chairman of the New York City Council on Monday demanded the mayor of the city Eric Adams to resign from its office.
“He now has to prioritize New York and New York people, step aside and resign,” said in a statement chairman of the City Council Adrienne Adamswho, despite his last name, is not related to the mayor.
Corruption charges raised against Eric Adams have fed to the verge of chaos in the New York regime. On Monday, four city deputy mayors expressed their intention to resign.
Since the publicity of the charges, many New York politicians have called for Adams’ resignation, but the mayor has not agreed to resign so far.
Denied guilt
Adams charges are related to the alleged campaign financing from the Turkish administration and the possible pressure of the rescue authorities, which opened the Turkish consulate building in New York despite possible safety problems.
Adams has denied his guilt. He has also denied the allegations that he would have asked for charges in exchange for the current US president Donald Trump the implementation of a hard line of immigration program.
Last week, the US Department of Justice asked the federal referee to stop dealing with Adam’s charges. The proposal recorded on Friday was signed by two federal prosecutors and a US deputy lawyer Emil Bovewho is a former lawyer of Trump.
Bove ordered previously prosecuting federal prosecutors to abandon the prosecution, but instead of rejecting the law, the prosecutors decided to resign.
The basics of political
In the request of Bove, appointed by Trump, the grounds for rejecting the charges are political. In the request, the rejection of the charges justified, among other things, that the mayor was unable to work properly due to the charges. According to the request, the charges would also pose a risk for election injury in the New York mayor election this year.
However, the reasoning of the request did not include that there was defective evidence of Adams guilt.
Adams is a democrat, but he has claimed that without justifying the charges to be a punishment for the trump predecessor, the Democrats Joe Biden immigration policy. In recent weeks, Adams has increased his contact with the Trump headquarters.
The Democratic pastor has under pressure from many different sessions. For the Democratic ranks, he has been criticized for his cooperation with Trump.
The decision to give up the prosecution is finally made by a federal judge in New York Dale ho.
