### First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright Negotiates Exit Amid Adams Administration Turmoil

NEW YORK (WABC) -- First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright is in the process of negotiating her departure from the Adams administration, and sources indicate that she could leave her position by the end of the day. Wright holds the second-highest rank in Mayor Eric Adams' administration.

The situation escalated when the residence Wright shares with her husband, Schools Chancellor David Banks, was searched by authorities, leading to the seizure of her phone. This action occurred prior to Mayor Adams being charged with fraud, bribery, and accepting improper campaign donations.

This development adds another layer of difficulty for Mayor Adams, who was already grappling with low approval ratings before the indictment. Now, he faces even greater scrutiny from the public and media, intensifying the challenges ahead for his administration.
