“Zohran Mamdani's administration secured $7.6 billion in New York State aid for New York City through a partnership with New York Governor Kathy Hochul.”
A major Hochul-Mamdani budget deal for New York City is real, but the claim overstates both the number and the credit. The evidence describes the package as nearly $8 billion, not a documented $7.6 billion in state aid secured by Mamdani’s administration. Official sources also place primary responsibility on Hochul and the state legislature, with the mayor as a partner and advocate rather than the sole or main actor.
“U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi asked a federal judge in New York to deny the appointment of a special master to monitor the release of the "Epstein files."”
The court record does not show Pam Bondi personally asked the judge to deny a special master. The opposition was filed by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton on behalf of the Southern District of New York, and the cited sources do not attribute that request to Bondi by name. The claim misidentifies the actor at the center of the event.
