NYPD commissioner resigns amid federal investigation

Catch up quick: FBI agents raided the homes of two of Adams' top aides last week — including Caban — and subpoenaed the cellphones of at least seven members of the NYPD, ABC 7 reported.

• While the full scope of the federal probe into Caban is not yet clear, it has focused in part on a nightclub security business owned by Caban's twin brother, James Caban, the New York Times reported.
• None of the officials embroiled in the investigations into Adams and his inner circle have yet been charged with a crime, per the Times.

State of play: "The news around recent developments has created a distraction for our department," Caban wrote in his resignation letter to the NYPD, NBC 4 reported.

• "The NYPD deserves someone who can solely focus on protecting and serving New York City, which is why - for the good of this city and this department - I have made the difficult decision to resign," he added.
• Adams said in an address Thursday that Caban's resignation was the "best decision at this time" and that he wished Caban well.

• Adams also announced that he had appointed Thomas Donlon — former head of the FBI's National Threat Center — as the interim police commissioner.

The NYPD did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
