Sheena Wright, New York City's First Deputy Mayor under Eric Adams, has resigned amid a broad federal investigation into the administration, marking the seventh high-ranking official to step down recently. Federal raids and phone seizures have intensified scrutiny around allegations of illegal campaign donations and bribery involving Adams' 2021 campaign and connections to Turkish nationals. Adams, indicted on charges including bribery and fraud, allegedly exchanged favors for contributions and benefits from Turkish interests. Wright's role included overseeing the administration’s strategic initiatives and municipal operations, and her departure follows similar exits by other top officials, including her husband David Banks, the schools chancellor. Maria Torres-Springer, currently Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development, and Workforce, will replace Wright. The investigation and resignations signal deepening challenges for the Adams administration as the federal probe continues.
