Bernard Kerik, who was the New York City police commissioner during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, has died at the age of 69 after battling an unspecified illness. Once hailed as a hero and nominated to lead the Department of Homeland Security, his life took a downturn following his conviction for tax fraud and other related charges, leading to nearly four years in prison. He was later pardoned by President Trump. Reflecting on his legacy, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani expressed deep personal sentiments about their long-standing friendship.
"We've been together since the beginning. He's like my brother. I was a better man for having known Bernie. I certainly was a braver and stronger man."
"He committed some of the crimes while serving as 'the chief law enforcement officer for the biggest and grandest city this nation has.'"
