Brian Mann: 作为NPR的记者，我一直在关注纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯所面临的日益严重的政治危机。州长凯西·霍楚尔正在权衡是否要动用她的权力解除亚当斯的市长职务，因为他面临着越来越多的腐败指控，以及与特朗普政府关系过于密切的批评，这损害了他独立执政的能力。最近，亚当斯的多名高级助手辞职，这进一步加剧了这场危机。司法部暂停对亚当斯的腐败指控，这一举动引发了争议，甚至导致七名司法部律师辞职。目前的情况非常复杂，亚当斯的行为受到了严格的审查，而州长霍楚尔的下一步行动将对纽约市的未来产生重大影响。我将继续关注事态发展，为大家带来最新的报道。 Hakeem Jeffries: 作为国会议员，我对亚当斯市长目前的情况深感担忧。他对纽约市的领导能力已经受到了严重的质疑。他必须向纽约市民证明，他有能力继续以符合纽约市民最佳利益的方式执政，而不是听命于特朗普政府。司法部暂停对亚当斯的腐败指控，这让我非常不安。我认为，亚当斯市长需要采取果断行动，恢复公众对他的信任。如果他不能做到这一点，那么他应该辞职。
