New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned following the seizure of his phone by FBI agents as part of a broader federal corruption investigation targeting senior officials within Mayor Eric Adams' administration.
The resignation marks a significant development in one of four ongoing criminal probes into the city's governance. Mayor Adams announced Tom Donlon, a retired FBI official, as the interim police commissioner during a news conference.
This upheaval comes amid increasing scrutiny of the administration's practices and raises questions about the implications for city leadership and law enforcement integrity.

Finally, some accountability at the top - it's about time these corruption issues within the NYPD and the Mayor's office are taken seriously, and I hope this leads to real reform.
Another day, another government official steps down - if we minimized the state's role, we'd likely see fewer of these corruption scandals.
