“My loyalty does not go past if someone does something wrong …
In the aftermath of Adams’ indictment on bribery and corruption charges, the mayor’s top advisors and closest allies, from his schools chancellor to his police commissioner , were pushed to resign.
Gov. Hochul leaned on Adams to clean house of those in his inner circle who’d become ensnared in several separate corruption probes, even as they didn’t face criminal charges of their own and maintained they had done nothing wrong.
Now, as the mayor continues to fend off calls to resign, battles the federal charges he has pleaded not guilty to and runs for reelection, almost no one from the tight-knit crew he first entered office with — known internally as “Team Adams” — is left by his side.
How much corruption is there and for how long?
