The husband of Brooklyn’s Democratic Party boss and a top ally of Mayor Adams has abruptly resigned from his newly appointed City Hall gig after officials learned his hiring violated government rules.During an unrelated press conference Saturday, Adams waxed poetically about him and his staff being “perfectly imperfect” while discussing his controversial decision to briefly employ Edu Hermelyn, husband of Brooklyn Democratic Party leader and state Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte, as a senior advisor for strategic initiatives at the Department of Social Services.As a Democratic district leader representing Crown Heights, which is an unpaid elected office, Hermelyn cannot hold a city managerial post, Adams said.
