New York Gov. Kathy Hochul held a series of meetings with key political figures Tuesday as she contemplates removing Mayor Eric Adams from office.

The governor's scheduled sit-downs come as Adams faces questions about whether he has lost the ability to govern the city in the wake of a Justice Department move to drop his corruption case.

Four of Adams’ top deputies announced their resignations Monday night .

Adams flew to Florida to meet with Trump before he took office, and the mayor ditched a planned Martin Luther King Jr. Day observance in New York after getting a last-minute invitation to Trump ’s inauguration. Meanwhile, Adams signaled openness to softening city policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Adams insisted he was looking out for the city’s interests, not his own, in cultivating a relationship with the president.
