One of New York City Mayor Eric Adams' most trusted advisers is set to resign this week from the beleaguered administration that has already seen multiple highlevel officials bail amid a myriad of investigations — and now criminal charges.

Tim Pearson, who among his wideranging responsibilities at City Hall had a significant role in approving contracts for the city’s migrant shelters, is set to step down, Adams said in a statement Monday evening. Pearson's resignation is effective Friday, Oct. 4.

"Tim has had a long career in both the public and private sectors, where he has spent over 30 years keeping New Yorkers safe. We appreciate Tim’s decades of service to this city and wish him well," a statement from Adams read.
