"The mayor was always entitled to his day in court – instead, he’s used his power and privilege to sidestep the process. No matter what he’ll now claim, this isn’t a testament to his innocence, but to his capitulation and fear.
"Judge Ho may have refunded the sale today, but Mayor Adams still sold out New York in the first place – and would unapologetically do so again and again. We’ll soon find out if his refusal to stand up to Donald Trump was because he was afraid, or because he agreed with him.
"Prosecutors Danielle Sassoon, Hagan Scotten, First Deputy Torres-Springer and Deputy Mayors Parker, Joshi, and Williams-Isom are just some of the people who resigned because the mayor hasn’t cared enough about the city to do so himself. Based on the judge's own words, how can New Yorkers ever believe that the mayor won't continue to put his own interests above the best interests of our city?"
