AOC Says Eric Adams Is Endangering NYC And Should 'Be Removed' From Office
HuffPost
The New York Democrat suggested Adams is too indebted to Donald Trump to lead after the Department of Justice ordered his charges dropped.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Thursday called for New York City Mayor Eric Adams to “be removed” from his position if he refuses voluntarily stepping down after the Justice Department’s order for his corruption charges to be dropped prompted the resignations of several federal prosecutors.
In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Wednesday, Manhattan U.S. attorney Danielle Sassoon said last month she attended a meeting during which Adams’ legal team “repeatedly urged what amounted to a quid pro quo” with Trump administration officials, requesting their client’s indictment be dismissed in exchange for him assisting with federal immigration enforcement. Adams’ legal team has denied Sassoon’s allegations.
Ocasio-Cortez described Sassoon’s letter as “explosive.”
“As long as Trump wields this leverage over Adams, the city is endangered,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “We cannot be governed under coercion.”
“If Adams won’t resign, he must be removed,” she continued.
