A federal judge ordered New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors to appear in court on Wednesday to explain the DOJ's request to dismiss the criminal corruption charges against Adams.

Kathy Hochul said in a statement on Monday: "I recognize the immense responsibility I hold as governor and the constitutional powers granted to this office. In the 235 years of New York State history, these powers have never been utilized to remove a duly-elected mayor; overturning the will of the voters is a serious step that should not be taken lightly. That said, the alleged conduct at City Hall that has been reported over the past two weeks is troubling and cannot be ignored."
