New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she would not use her power to remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams as he tried to fight a criminal indictment charging him with corruption, but proposed new oversight mechanisms over the mayor's office in an announcement on Thursday.

Kathy Hochul said she’s seeking to limit Adams’ authority in City Hall.

Instead, the governor plans to add a series of controls to the embattled mayor’s power over New York City, a person close to the governor said.
