New York Mayor Eric Adams confirmed on Oct. 20 that he ordered the termination of Chris Baugh, an aide who was captured on undercover video disparaging police officers and Adams.

Adams, a Democrat, first said that he was willing to keep Baugh when Project Veritas released a tape showing Baugh disparaging him. But later a second video emerged featuring Baugh talking about police and other city workers who were fired for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
