Hakeem Jeffries Says Eric Adams Should Not Resign

“House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said last night that embattled New York Mayor Eric Adams should not resign following his indictment on federal corruption and bribery charges, NBC News reports.

Said Jeffries: “My view is that Mayor Adams, like every other New Yorker and every other American, is entitled to the presumption of innocence and entitled to a trial by a jury of his peers who will ultimately determine his fate within the legal system.”
