Adams and Hochul appear in public together for the 1st time since NYC mayor’s indictment
Mayor Eric Adams joined Gov. Kathy Hochul on stage at a somber Oct. 7 memorial in Manhattan Monday night — their first public appearance together since Hizzoner was indicted on federal corruption charges.
Adams, who is facing calls to resign, and Hochul, a fellow Democrat who has the power to remove him from office, were on stage at the remembrance in Central Park along with other high-profile Democrats.
The pair did not appear to interact on stage. It’s unknown if the two spoke after walking off the stage during the gut-wrenching event.
Following news late last month of the bombshell indictment against Adams, Hochul told the city leader he needs to clean house, sources told The Post last month.
Since their conversation, a handful of top City Hall aides have stepped down, including longtime Adams confidante Winnie Greco, whose departure was revealed around the same time as Monday night’s ceremony.
The memorial on Monday marked the one-year anniversary since Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israelis and took 250 hostages back to Gaza.
Adams, who received applause from attendees on Monday, and Hochul were part of the same security meeting between state and city leaders last week over rising violence in the Middle East – but it was over Zoom.
The governor posted a photo online of her in an office while Adams and other officials were on screens.
Other prominent New York Democrats to join the memorial on stage included Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Attorney General Letitia James.
