#2,516 - Third NY City Mayor Adams admin official quits in a week - pressure mounts on mayor to resign

The Eric Adams administration is losing another senior official, the third departure in just one week amid a whirlwind of federal investigations surrounding City Hall. Kristen Edgreen Kaufman, the deputy commissioner of public private partnerships and economic development, part of the Mayor's Office of International Affairs, announced her resignation in a letter to colleagues, NBC New York has learned. "After nearly three years serving the Mayor's Office of International Affairs as a Deputy Commissioner, I wanted to share with you that I will be leaving my position at the end of this month. I am grateful to Mayor Adams for this opportunity," Kaufman said in a letter obtained to by NBC New York on Wednesday. Kaufman did not specify a reason for her departure in her resignation letter. It was not clear whether her departure had anything to do with the ongoing investigations into other members of the Adams administration.
