Sources say he could step down as soon as Friday, Oct. 11. Adams is expected to fill the position as soon as Monday, Oct. 14.
This is the latest shakeup in the Adams administration, as nearly a dozen of his staffers have either resigned or been arrested.
On Tuesday, Oct. 8, First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright resigned. A few hours later, police arrested senior community affairs liaison, Mohamed Bahi, for witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
Federal prosecutors indicted Adams in September. He was charged with five counts of bribery, corruption, wire fraud and soliciting and accepting donations from foreign nationals.
He pleaded not guilty and has said he’s done nothing wrong.
