A group of some of New York's most influential female elected officials joined Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani on Friday to slam President Trump's Justice Department for indicting state Attorney General Letitia James.
At the same time, the group also condemned mayoral hopeful and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for refusing to name either the president or New York's top law enforcement official in his Oct. 9 statement, shortly after news broke of the indictment.
Mamdani, a democratic socialist Queens Assembly member, gathered on Oct. 10 with fellow Democratic pols, including Rep. Nydia Velázquez (Brooklyn/Queens), City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, and Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn in Manhattan's Foley Square to denounce James' indictment
