Tim Pearson, perhaps Mayor Eric Adams’ most scandal-ridden aide, resigned of his own accord and was not pushed out of the administration after the mayor’s indictment on federal corruption charges, Hizzoner said Tuesday.
Pearson, who informed Adams of his departure in a Monday night letter, was facing mounting pressure to leave his post after news broke that federal authorities are eyeing him in connection with one of several probes surrounding City Hall. His resignation is effective on Friday, Oct. 4.
