He announced the nomination of Muriel Good-Truffant as the new corporation counsel and the appointment of Allison Stoddart as City Hall’s chief counsel. Highlighting their qualifications, Adams remarked, “More than 30 years of experience at the Law Department…we’re really excited about that.”

The Mayor also addressed concerns about his administration’s integrity and ongoing federal investigations.

“I’m hopeful because I did nothing wrong. That’s where my hopeful comes from. I’ve said it over and over again, I know how I live my life, I did nothing wrong,” he stated firmly.

When questioned about allegations and the potential impact on his governance, Adams reassured the public, “I do not have a shortage of meetings and events, and people want to sit down.” He added, “The city is still functioning and will continue to do so. And it’s always about the people of the city.”

Addressing administrative departures, Adams noted, “There’s always movement in and out of administrations…those who decide to go on with their careers, I remember sitting down speaking with the Commissioner Kavanagh from FDNY, and her and I are taking a walk together. And she says, Eric, I want to start a family. You know, people have different priorities.”

The Mayor concluded by reiterating his commitment to New Yorkers, stating, “If I felt we could not do our job here in the city, I would not get in the way of the city moving forward. I love the city too much.”
