Here in New York, one of Mayor Eric Adams’s closest allies has resigned from her role as first deputy mayor, making Sheena Wright the seventh senior official to leave the Adams administration amid multiple federal investigations. Wright’s husband, New York City Public Schools Chancellor David Banks, announced last month he would step down, just weeks after the FBI raided his home. Wright’s resignation comes as Adams’s former chief liaison to Muslim New Yorkers, Mohamed Bahi, was arrested and indicted on federal charges of witness tampering and destruction of evidence. This comes as Eric Adams continues to face mounting calls to resign after becoming New York’s first sitting mayor to be federally charged in a bribery and wire fraud scheme spanning nearly a decade.
