Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday stood firmly behind top City Hall aide Tim Pearson amid reports that some of his closest advisers have been pushing him to fire the scandal-scarred staffer.
Hizzoner has been extremely reluctant to publicly criticize Pearson, let alone give him the pink slip, despite more than a year of negative headlines surrounding the top aide. Pearson, a former police inspector, is Adams’ longtime personal friend and was his commanding officer when the two served in the NYPD.
