Now moving forward, because the DOJ has reserved authority to reactivate those criminal charges against Adams, they're holding this big stick going forward. If Adams doesn't cooperate on migrants' The DOJ could hit him with those charges. Adams has already offered federal immigration police more access to inmates at the city's jail on Rikers Island.

You know, we really do not know when she's going to move forward here. One key moment, though, is Judge Dale Ho, the federal judge overseeing the Adams case, is going to review the DOJ request to put these criminal charges on hold. That happens tomorrow afternoon. And there's some indication that Hochul might act after we hear how that judge moves the case forward.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, in a statement, Hochul said she spoke with Deputy Mayor Maria Torres Springer, one of Adam's top aides who's resigning. And that conversation left Hochul with, and I'm quoting here, serious questions about the long-term future of this mayoral administration. Hochul acknowledged no governor in the last 235 years has used their authority to oust an elected mayor of New York City.

But Hochul then pointed to the crisis in City Hall, which she said is troubling and cannot be ignored. So Hochul now says she'll meet with key leaders in Manhattan later today for what she describes as a conversation about the path forward.

Yeah, it's huge. It's a wipeout of Mayor Adams' top leadership. And this clearly got Hochul's attention. New York City is a complicated place to govern under the best of circumstances. And those departing hold key roles, dealing with everything from the city's infrastructure to the ongoing challenges from migrants arriving in the city. These were really the people keeping things on track.

While Adams faced those DOJ criminal charges, now they're headed out the door. It's important to remember, too, Layla, this isn't the first wave of departures. Other key city leaders have also gone.

Yeah, in September, the DOJ laid out a sweeping case against Adams, alleging he used the power of various city offices over nearly a decade to solicit lavish vacations and improper campaign contributions. Some of the bribes allegedly came from foreign agents working for Turkey.
