New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday launched a scathing new attack on his top rival in the race, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a video posted<\/a> on social media, Mamdani briefly ran through Cuomo’s history of scandals during his tenure as New York’s governor and then proceeded to inform viewers about what Cuomo’s been up to ever since he resigned in disgrace in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In 2022, Cuomo started Innovation Strategies, LLC, to ‘represent individuals and corporations in a variety of matters’\u2014definitely not vague!” Mamdani said sarcastically. “Last year, it raked in more than half a million dollars. Who paid for Cuomo’s services? He refuses to say.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mamdani then walked through assorted reports about Cuomo’s post-gubernatorial work life and declared their findings “troubling.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In April, Bloomberg<\/em> revealed<\/a> that Cuomo advised a cryptocurrency exchange based in the Seychelles as it faced federal investigation,” he said. “Then in May, Politico<\/em> reported<\/a> that Cuomo failed to disclose $2.6 million in stock options to the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board. His excuse? The stocks were technically owned by Innovation Strategies, LLC, of which he’s the sole proprietor.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, Mamdani pointed to a New York Times<\/em> report<\/a> about Cuomo working with real estate investor Andrew Farkas on a marina project in Puerto Rico. He then revealed Farkas also happened to previously partner with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on similar projects in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mamdani wrapped up his video by suggesting Cuomo is a bottomless well of scandals and then challenging the former governor to prove him wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If my friend, the disgraced former governor of New York feels that’s unfair… release your client list!” he said, as the ad flashed a hashtag across the screen that read, “Release the Cuomo List.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
