Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Mayor Eric Adams should not resign from his position as he faces a federal indictment on conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery charges.

“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 in the legal system. At the same time, it’s important for Mayor Adams to articulate to New Yorkers in a compelling way a plan and a path forward,” Jeffries said in an interview with MSNBC Friday.

Other New York Democratic lawmakers in Washington have called for the Mayor to step down, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jerry Nadler.

On Wednesday, federal prosecutors said they are pursuing “several related investigations” that could lead to additional corruption charges against Adams and indictments for people in his orbit.

Adams has said he has no intention to resign, even as a recent poll showed nearly 70% of New York voters surveyed think he should.
