It was not just Edward Caban who was the subject of a search warrant last week.
Caban was one of five top officials in the Adams administration who had their phones seized or were the subject of search warrants.
And now that Caban has resigned from his position, four more remain, continuing to serve in top posts in City Hall.
What You Need To Know
- The police commissioner resigned Thursday, but several other officials had their phone seized as part of a federal investigation into the NYPD and City Hall
- It's unclear what will happen to those other officials
- Some critics are calling for more resignations
Asked whether the mayor would remain loyal to these officials, a City Hall spokesperson would not say.
So far, officials have not called for the resignation of Sheena Wright, the first deputy mayor.
Nor has there been widespread calls for the schools chancellor to step aside. He was asked if he would during a news conference on Friday.
"I am not responding to either one of those questions, thank you,” Schools Chancellor David Banks said.
Some have said Phil Banks, who is the deputy mayor for public safety, should go.
"Just as the mayor directed Caban to resign, he should direct every single senior police official and City Hall official that oversees the NYPD to resign as well, including Deputy Mayor Phil Banks,” Councilman Lincoln Restler of Brooklyn said.
Tim Pearson, a top mayoral aide, has long been the subject of controversy — and is the subject of multiple lawsuits regarding sexual harassment or retaliation. Up until now, the mayor has defended him.
It's unclear if that will remain the case.
Meanwhile, some state officials are going beyond these top aides.
Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher said Friday the mayor himself should resign.
State Sen. Julia Salazar followed suit.
