Lisa Zornberg, New York City Hall’s chief counsel, is leaving her post in Eric Adams’ administration â just days after NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban resigned as the city’s top cop, she announced late Saturday.
Zornberg has served as the lead attorney for the mayor and City Hall since July 2023.
Her sudden departure comes as federal investigators have zeroed in on members of Adams’ inner circle and other allies.
“I am deeply grateful to Mayor Adams for giving me the opportunity to serve the city, and I strongly support the work he has done and continues to do for New Yorkers,” Zornberg said in a statement, Pix11 reported.
Adams thanked Zornberg and said he plans to announce her replacement in the coming days.
“We appreciate all the work Lisa has done for our administration and, more importantly, the city over the past 13 months. These are hard jobs and we don’t expect anyone to stay in them forever,” Hizzoner said.
