New York Governor. Kathy Hochul announced she will not remove indicted New York City Mayor Eric Adams but is imposing new oversight measures on his administration. Hochul stated she would not override voters' choice but introduced "guardrails" to ensure City Hall decisions prioritize New Yorkers over any influence from former President Donald Trump. She proposed creating a special inspector general for city affairs and allowing city officials to sue the federal government if necessary. Adams was indicted in 2024 on criminal corruption charges and has aligned with former President Donald Trump. The DOJ is seeking to dismiss his case to maintain his cooperation on immigration enforcement and reelection prospects.
