Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday fiercely denied reported rumors that his office is pushing Police Commissioner Edward Caban to resign amid a recently revealed federal probe into the Police Department — but he did not rule out the possibility that he is considering a shakeup at the top of 1 Police Plaza.
The mayor made the comments during his weekly wide-ranging press briefing following reports on Monday that Caban is expected to step down from his post in the coming days after federal agents searched his home and seized his electronic devices last week. The briefing was virtual this week; Mayor Adams tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday and is quarantining.
