The departure of Lisa Zornberg comes just two days after New York Police Commissioner Edward Caban stepped down, after officials raided his home and seized his phone.

“I am tendering my resignation, effective today, as I have concluded that I can no longer effectively serve in my position," Ms Zornberg said in a statement shared by the mayor's office.

Adams thanked Ms Zornberg for her work but gave no reason for his top counsel's departure.

"These are hard jobs and we don't expect anyone to stay in them forever," the mayor said in a statement.
