Alex Spiro, Mayor Eric Adams’ lawyer, says he wants the bribery charge thrown out and “the rest of this case is nothing but a campaign finance case.” He says the case relies on one staffer and prosecutors are hiding that she’s lying.

I asked Mayor Eric Adams about Pearson’s resignation as he left the church and if it’s what’s best for the city. He declined to comment: “When we make a notification, we notify and let everybody know.”

[Quoted tweet]
Mayor Eric Adams is at a church in Queens talking about growing up poor and melting snow for water and women from the church dropping off half eaten groceries when his family didn’t have food. He says you can’t make progress in the city without spirituality: “It’s time to pray.”

It's fairly significant that Al Sharpton is explicitly asking Hochul not to invoke her authority to remove Adams from office. She is highly unlikely to take that step without key support from elected officials and Black leaders like Sharpton Rev. Al Sharpton urges Gov. Hochul not to remove Mayor Adams from office ahead of trial
