Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) has demanded that New York City’s embattled Democrat Mayor Eric Adams “resign” following his indictment. Adams is facing corruption charges stemming from a federal investigation.
On Thursday, the mayor was served with a five-count indictment that included charges such as bribery, wire fraud, and foreign contribution.
Nevertheless, Adams maintains his innocence and has insisted he is staying in office for the duration, The Hill reported. This has become a problem for lawmakers like Nadler who see Adams as a burden to the city.
“My belief is that the Mayor has lost the ability to effectively lead the City of New York, and therefore, he must resign,” Nadler said in a statement shared on X.
