Lisa Zornberg, the chief counsel for New York City Mayor Eric Adams, has resigned from her position at City Hall. The resignation comes amid a series of federal investigations targeting members of the mayor's inner circle. The announcement was made late Saturday night with no explanation. Zornberg's departure follows FBI raids on the homes of several top aides to Mayor Adams, as well as the recent resignation of NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban. Zornberg, who served as chief counsel since July 2023, was the top attorney in the administration. The resignation marks a significant development in the ongoing federal probe and scandal engulfing the Adams administration.
