Another top adviser to New York City Mayor Eric Adams resigned Monday, even as the Democrat’s lawyer criticized the federal corruption case against him and asked a judge to toss out bribery charges.

Timothy Pearson, one of the mayor’s closest confidants, submitted his resignation Monday evening, weeks after federal agents seized cellphones, documents and cash from his Long Island home, said his attorney, Hugh H. Mo.

Pearson, a retired police inspector who served in the department alongside Adams, had a broad role that included overseeing contracts and security at migrant shelters while also maintaining significant influence over the police department.
