Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to lose his taxpayer-funded legal representation in a sexual assault case against him, according to the city's Law Department. Corporation Counsel Steve Banks argued that Adams was not acting within the bounds of his city employment when the alleged assault occurred. The move could pose financial difficulties for the former mayor, who is already in financial trouble following a federal corruption case. The decision comes after the Mamdani administration announced it would stop funding attorneys for former Adams aides Tim Pearson and NYPD Chief of Department Jeff Maddrey.
