Legal reporter at Politico, covering SDNY, etc. Priors: @CNN, @WSJ. I'm good at weaseling my way to the front of a gaggle. DMs are open.
NYS has settled a lawsuit brought by former Andrew Cuomo aide Brittany Commisso for nearly half a million dollars, according to her attorneys. Commisso’s case accused Cuomo of groping her in 2020, making sexualized remarks about her looks and other inappropriate behavior.
Omg thank you
Dropping that WSJ piece right in the middle of bath/bed time for the kids was all kinds of fucked up. Murdoch should be sued for THAT.
wow that is quite a line
Sliwa: Eric Adams is damaged goods… Andrew Cuomo is a creep. Slapping fannies and killing grannies. Everybody likes Curtis Sliwa
Ghislaine Maxwell's case, in which @DAGToddBlanche has filed to unseal grand jury transcripts, has been reassigned to U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer. Judge Alison Nathan, who oversaw Maxwell's trial, now sits on the Second Circuit.

Another union backs Zohran and gives up on Cuomo
Working people across NYC are uniting to defend our neighborhoods and our city from unprecedented attacks from extremist politicians and billionaires. 1199 members are proud to endorse @ZohranKMamdani for Mayor as we fight for a safe, affordable, and healthy city for all!
Former SDNY deputy criminal chief:
Trump knows SDNY prosecutors seeking to indict Epstein and Maxwell didn’t ask questions about him in their grand jury presentations while he was POTUS. It’s a red herring to distract from the evidence that matters: witness interview notes, videos, photos, etc.
There is, presumably, a lot of other evidence beyond grand jury testimony

Cuomo wants to control the city’s subway and buses as mayor ebx.sh/NCgQP2
