She announced on Saturday night that she was leaving her position as chief counsel in Eric Adams’ administration, just days after NYPD commissioner Edward Caban resigned following federal raids against a number of police officers and close aides to the mayor.

Lisa Zornberg, a former Manhattan federal prosecutor and former lead attorney at City Hall, has been the Mayor’s lawyer since July 2023.

Federal investigators are focusing on Adams’ inner circle, as well as other allies.

Zornberg stated in a press release that he was “deeply grateful” to Mayor Adams for the opportunity he gave him to serve New Yorkers. He also said ‘I strongly support his work, which consists of the things he continues to do and has done for New Yorkers.

I showed President Trump the numbers When I was with Donald Trump this past week, I told him that we’re making an impact with key Latino voters. But Kamala and the Democrats are outraising us. And unless we raise another $59,278.10 in the next 48 hours, we may not be able to keep the momentum going. Don’t let that happen! 1776 Coalition Sponsored

Adams thanked Zornberg, and said that he will announce Zornberg’s replacement in the next few days.

“We are grateful for all Lisa’s work over the last 13 months, both in our administration, and more importantly, on behalf of the City. We don’t expect anyone in these jobs to remain in them for a long time.

Sources say that FBI agents raided Caban’s home and the homes of other members of America’s largest police force last week in a corruption investigation involving possible influence peddling.

Caban’s brother James is also being investigated by the feds. He allegedly worked as a “fixer”, repairing restaurants and nightclubs in Manhattan as part of “consulting”.

The Feds searched and confiscated the electronic devices of David Banks, Schools Chancellor and Phil Banks’s home as well as the townhouse that they shared with First Deputy mayor Sheena.

No one has ever been accused of any wrongdoing.

Caban, under scrutiny, resigned Thursday in order to save the department’s face and gain the trust of the public. Caban’s tenure as NYPD commissioner was among the shortest ever.

Caban sent an email to the city police saying, “The recent news has caused a distraction to our department. I refuse to allow my attention to be diverted from our important work or the safety and security of our men and women in the NYPD.”

Tom Donlon, a former FBI official, will replace him in the interim.
