Amid calls for his resignation, Jewish NYC Comptroller Brad Lander is demanding that Mayor Eric Adams prove his ability to govern.
This is following the Justice Department’s decision to drop bribery charges against him.
This is a very curious move for Lander.
With four deputy mayors submitting resignation notices, Lander fears an unprecedented leadership black hole.
He has requested Adams present a detailed plan to manage the city’s leadership transition by February 21, 2025.
If not, he will push for an Inability Committee meeting.
However, Lander’s own record raises questions, as he once approved over $500 million in contracts to “non-profits” with ties to his wife’s group.
Was USAID involved?
So, he’s hardly the saint in this story.
What is he really afraid of?
Exposure is coming to all that have things to hide in government.
No where to hide.

Fox News reports:
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander (D) on Monday called on Mayor Eric Adams to prove he can still govern the city amid calls for his resignation after the Justice Department dropped bribery charges against him and four deputy mayors submitted their intent to resign.
In a letter to Adams, Lander said the potential resignations of the deputy mayors could “create an unprecedented leadership vacuum at the highest levels of City government and wreak havoc on the City’s ability to deliver essential services to New Yorkers.”
“Given the gravity of this situation and the chaos it has unleashed among New Yorkers, I formally request that your office promptly develop and present a detailed contingency plan outlining how you intend to manage the City of New York during this period of leadership transition,” he wrote.
“Specifically, please provide immediate confirmation of your plan for appointing interim Deputy Mayors and key managerial staff, along with an anticipated timeline for stabilizing the administration, no later than Friday, February 21, 2025,” Lander added.
If Adams fails to provide a plan, Lander said he would seek to convene a meeting of the Inability Committee. Fox News Digital has reached out to Adams’ office.
In a letter last week to Attorney General Pam Bondi, acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon said Adams was being granted special treatment by the Trump administration after receiving a memo drafted by Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove directing the case against the mayor to be dropped.
Rather than carry out the directive, Sassoon and several others resigned instead. Adams was charged last year with bribery, soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, wire fraud and conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
So much corruption in New York.
