"The Indian-origin Democratic nominee told CNN's "The Source with Kaitlan Collins" on Friday, "Look, I think we've seen, whether it be with [former FBI Director] James Comey, whether it be with Attorney General James, that this is not something that Donald Trump is going to stop at any one individual. It's a feature of his political agenda, and it is the only thing that he can quite deliver on in this moment," according to The Hill."
"Mamdani recognized the personal risks he faces, saying, "I know that when he makes these threats of denaturalizing me, deporting me, arresting me, these are ones that he may intend to deliver on." He added, "But it's also the price of standing up to that administration - a price many of us are willing to pay if it means standing up for New Yorkers.""
Zohran Mamdani labeled the federal indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James as political retaliation and described it as part of a broader pattern of targeting by Donald Trump. He cited examples including James Comey and argued that such actions are a feature of Trump’s political agenda. Mamdani acknowledged personal risks from threats of denaturalization, deportation, and arrest, and said many are willing to accept those risks to stand up for New Yorkers. James faces federal bank fraud and false-statement charges related to a 2020 home purchase, with an arraignment set for October 24 in Norfolk federal court.
