Mayor's Business-as-Usual Claim Faces Scrutiny Amid Top Aides' FBI Probe

Despite the FBI investigating top Adams administration aides, the mayor insists nothing's changed at City Hall. The raids last week targeted First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, Police Commissioner Edward Caban, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks, Schools Chancellor David Banks, and two other top officials. The mayor says he's just following the process and system of doing inquiries, but isn't that just a convenient excuse to avoid accountability? The mayor has full confidence in the NYPD, but can he really trust his top cop when the agency is under investigation? The investigation has raised more questions than answers. What if some of these top aides are found to have engaged in wrongdoing? What would that mean for the city's safety and trust in government? As the investigation unfolds, we're left with more questions than answers. The mayor's claim of business as usual at City Hall is under scrutiny.
