Randy Mastro, nominated as New York City's top lawyer, faces scrutiny from the City Council amid concerns over whether he will serve impartially or favor the mayor.
During the upcoming City Council hearing, lawmakers will assess if Mastro can uphold an attorney's responsibility to all city government branches or prioritize the mayor's interests.
The Corporation Counsel position requires the nominee to have confidence from all city officials and must demonstrate independence, commitment to justice, and public interest.
City Council planned to allow public testimony for or against Mastro's nomination in a hearing seen as crucial for assessing his qualifications and independence.
