New York City Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright plans to resign amid recent unrest surrounding Eric Adams

First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright will be forced to resign, The Post has learned, the latest high-profile exit from Mayor Eric Adams' increasingly troubled administration.

Wright's expected departure as early as Friday was confirmed by multiple sources familiar with the situation. It comes exactly a month after the government raided the home she shares with her husband, outgoing schools chancellor David Banks.

It's not an amicable break, with City Hall pushing Wright out the door as Gov. Kathy Hochul has pressured Adams to clean up after his federal indictment and a series of investigations into his top officials, sources said.

“She’s leaving because she’s being shown the door,” a source said.

When reached on the phone, Wright told the Post emphatically, “That's not true,” before hanging up.

A City Hall spokesman neither confirmed nor denied Wright's impending departure.

“As always, no personnel changes will be confirmed until they are announced,” a representative said in a statement.

At the last forced exit from City Hall, Wright's husband, Banks, was among the last to know he had been shown the door, sources said.

According to insiders, Wright was unhappy that Banks was shockingly forced out of his job months earlier than planned.

Adams administration officials are considering three replacements for Wright, who serves as Hizzoner's right-wing deputy mayor, a source said.

Possible successors include Anthony Shorris, a veteran of former Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration who previously served as first deputy mayor; Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer, who leads Adams' housing efforts; and Camille Joseph Varlack, the mayor's chief of staff.

Sources said Wright's replacement will begin next week.

The successive departures of newlyweds Wright and Banks come as Adams became the first incumbent mayor in New York City history to face federal criminal charges.

The unprecedented situation prompted Hochul to tell Hizzoner to clean up or risk being fired himself before he stands trial.

The home Wright shares with Banks was searched by federal agents on Sept. 4 as part of a raid on senior Adams administration officials and allies of the mayor.

Federal authorities seized Wright and Banks' electronic devices, but the purpose of the raids remained unclear.

In the weeks following the raid, Wright appeared publicly at Adams' side several times.

But behind the scenes there were apparently personal and political rifts.

Adams Last week — just hours after he was indicted — she quietly issued an executive order saying her authority would be transferred to Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom if the embattled Wright couldn't do her job.

As first deputy mayor, Wright oversaw the city's budget and finance offices, as well as its recruiting and hiring agency, the Department of Citywide Administrative Service, and the administration's policy arm, the Office of Policy & Planning.

Meanwhile, Banks announced late last month that he would retire at the end of the year – an announcement that came just before the announcement that a grand jury had handed down a five-count indictment against Adams, accusing him of defrauding taxpayers of $10 million. of defrauding dollars in campaign funds and accepting $123,000 in bribes in the form of travel benefits from Turkish officials and nationals.

Following Adams' criminal charges, longtime partners Banks and Wright tied the knot on Martha's Vineyard – a move that many viewed as a potential attempt to assert “spousal privilege,” the right of a married couple to refuse to testify against each other.

But the newly married couple barely had time to enjoy their marital bliss.

Banks learned from Adams late Wednesday that the chancellor would be forced out early and that Melissa Aviles-Ramos would take over as principal on Oct. 16.

The surprise move angered Banks, who released a statement through a public relations firm — a move that raised questions about whether the city and the Department of Education still speak on his behalf.

A day later, an obviously frustrated Wright punched a Post reporter and photographer as they approached her on a Harlem sidewalk.

She grabbed the photographer's camera and pleaded for “privacy” even though she earns $250,000 a year as a civil servant and saw her husband conspicuously locked up after a high-profile raid on their home.

“This is harassment, following me on the street,” she told the duo, according to the video.

“It’s very aggressive. And it just feels unnecessary. I will not give you any opinion.”
