Mamdani slammed Andrew Cuomo for omitting Trump (and James’s) name in his statement reacting to the charges, saying the former gov “cannot speak his name lest he has permission already to do so” b/c his narrow path to City Hall is paved by the same billionaires who put him back in the White House

Brooklyn real estate magnate Erden Arkan was just sentenced to 1 year of probation for funneling straw donations to Eric Adams’s 2021 mayoral campaign.

His attorney angered Judge Ho after making a stink about prosecutors pursuing him and letting the mayor off the hook.
