Rep. AOC joins call for mayor’s resignation or removal

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat representing parts of the Bronx and Queens, is among the latest elected officials calling for Mayor Eric Adams to resign or be removed by the governor.

Pressure is mounting against Adams following the resignation of several federal prosecutors who refused to follow orders from acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove to drop the case against Adams on charges of corruption and illegal campaign donations.
