As the State Department spokesman put it, the administration, quote, has been clear that we expect European partners to take the lead in establishing a durable security framework and look forward to their proposals. All right. So Trump really holding their feet to the fire there.

Right. Well, since the DOJ moved to have the corruption case against Adams dismissed, Hochul has been under pressure from Democrats to act. Recently, there have been calls for Adams to step down, even from Hochul's lieutenant governor, which puts more pressure on her to act if Adams refuses. And so far, Adams is staying in.

Democrats say that Adams' corruption case has merit, and the DOJ is only letting him off so he can be a pawn for Trump. So far, four of his top deputies have resigned in protests, suggesting he's been too cooperative with Trump. Here's Democratic strategist James Carville on MSNBC on Monday.

Now, Hochul has worked relatively well with Adams up until this point, and she's got her own reelection next year to think about. Ousting a sitting mayor and potentially angering his voters may not be in her political interest, but in the middle of all the pressure on her, she won't rule out forcing Adams out. Here she was on MSNBC last week.

Adams was charged with accepting about $100,000 in illegal gifts from Turkey. The Justice Department under Trump has decided to drop the charges, though, because it says Adams was another target of the Biden DOJ's political weaponization. The Justice Department also says that the case was needlessly interfering with Trump's immigration agenda.

It's that latter point that has caused some critics to accuse the Trump administration of striking an agreement with Adams to drop the charges in return for his help on deportations. Borders are Tom Homan and Adams went on Fox News and pushed back against that. Here's Adams.

If Hochul removes Adams, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo may benefit the most. He's seen as the favorite if he jumps into the mayoral race, but he and Adams pull a lot of the same base of support. So getting Adams out of the way would ease Cuomo's comeback after he resigned as governor amid sexual harassment allegations.
