Sheldon Silver agreed on Sunday to step down temporarily as Speaker of the Assembly as he fights federal corruption charges, according to sources.
"Shelly will withdraw as speaker," one source said.
A coalition of up to five assembly Democratic will take over his duties.
Two of them — Herman "Denny" Farrell of Harlem and Joseph Morelle of Rochester — will handle the budget negotiation with the governor and state senate.
Silver, a Democrat from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, was arrested Friday on a series of sweeping corruption charges.
He was accused of steering real estate developers to a law firm that paid him kickbacks.
The assembly speaker was also accused of funneling state grants to a doctor who referred asbestos claims to a second law firm that paid him fees for referring the clients.
Under the deal, Silver can return to his speaker post if he beats the corruption charges.
