A legal fight is brewing over New York City's congestion pricing plan after the Trump administration announced it was pulling the plug on it Wednesday. Gov. Kathy Hochul and the MTA said they were prepared for this move and filed a lawsuit minutes after the announcement was made.
The suit alleges that FEMA abused its authority in removed money from the city’s central treasury account seven days after it was received.
In an extraordinary courtroom showdown, a federal judge pressed the Justice Department on Wednesday on its demand to throw out New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption case, grilling a top official and putting the Democratic mayor under oath to answer concerns that the Trump administration’s lifeline came with strings attached.
Hochul will announce Thursday that she has, for now, decided against removing Adams from office, according to two sources familiar with the governor's plan but who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose its details.
