"Mayor Zohran Mamdani's film-director mother's name was mentioned several times in the newly released trove of documents tied to late pedophile and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, prompting a slew of misinformation online that Hizzoner said Wednesday is incredibly difficult. AI-generated images depicting Mamdani as a child alongside his mother, Mira Nair, and Epstein began circulating online following the latest document drop by the Department of Justice."
"Nair is not accused of any wrongdoing, though one email exchange mentions that she attended an after-party at the home of Epstein's convicted right-hand woman in 2009. Other mentions in the files only reference her as being on the guest list for film industry parties that Epstein had shown interest in attending. Despite this, AI-generated images began circulating late last week."
Zohran Mamdani entered his 35th day as mayor while coverage tracks his first 100 days in office. His mother, filmmaker Mira Nair, appears several times in newly released documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including an email noting her attendance at a 2009 after-party at Ghislaine Maxwell's Manhattan townhouse for the film Amelia. Nair is not accused of wrongdoing, but AI-generated images and viral misinformation began circulating, with figures like Alex Jones amplifying false claims that Mamdani is Epstein's illegitimate son. Mamdani addressed the spread of misinformation and held interviews about NYCHA and seasonal resident initiatives.
