Demonstrators gathered in New York City on Saturday, insisting Gov. Kathy Hochul remove Mayor Eric Adams from office rather than simply limit his power.

A New York judge on Friday said he would conduct further inquiry before ruling on the U.S. Department of Justice's request to dismiss its corruption case against Eric Adams, but delayed the Democratic New York City mayor's criminal trial indefinitely.

Experts say it’s far from clear how would play out. The closest it’s come to happening was nearly a century ago when Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt launched a trial against Mayor Jimmy Walker, who subsequently resigned and moved to Europe to avoid criminal prosecution.
