Mayor Eric Adams‘ criminal defense attorney Alex Spiro on Wednesday vehemently denied an online rumor from a former city lawmaker that Hizzoner would imminently resign and accept a plea deal in his federal corruption case.
“He’s not resigning,” Spiro told reporters on Jan. 29 as he came out of a closed-door court conference connected to Adams’ case. In a separate post, a reporter with the AP quoted Spiro as saying the rumor is “completely false.”
