**NYC Comptroller Asks Mayor Eric Adams to Prove He Can Govern Amid Corruption Allegations**
In a dramatic turn of events, the New York City Comptroller has issued a scathing letter to Mayor Eric Adams, demanding that he prove his ability to govern effectively or face removal from office.
The unprecedented move comes amid ongoing corruption allegations surrounding Adams’ own legal issues. The letter highlights concerns about the mayor’s involvement in a bribery case that was mysteriously dropped by the Justice Department, sparking widespread outrage and calls for his resignation.
In response, Mayor Adams has dug in his heels, announcing he will not step down despite the mounting pressure. His office issued a statement saying that “God has fortified me” and that he will continue to carry out his duties as mayor.
The controversy centers on a bribery case involving former Brooklyn District Attorney and mayoral candidate, Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez, which was dropped just days after Adams met with Trump’s border czar. Critics have accused him of trying to curry favor with the administration in exchange for a potential pardon.
It appears that City Comptroller Brad Lander is not convinced by Mayor Adams’ defiance, writing in his letter: “These resignations come in the wake of deeply concerning actions by the U.S. Justice Department, asking the U.S. District Court to drop indictments against you, so long as you comply with the White House on matters of immigration and criminal justice policy, which call into question your ability to continue to comply with your duties to New Yorkers under the City Charter.”
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Mayor Adams will ultimately comply with Lander’s demands or face a constitutional crisis in the nation’s largest city.
