NYC CIVIC
CENTER, Feb 25 – With
NYC Mayor Eric Adams still
under indictment, with DOJ's
motion to dismiss still
pending, Comptroller and
candidate Brad Lander held a
press conference about public
safety on February 25 in front
of One Police Plaza.
Lander's
plan says he would "work with
DAs to scale out Manhattan DA
Bragg's targeted approach of
prioritizing prosecutions of
gun traffickers."
Inner City Press
asked Lander if he thought
more or fewer gun cases should
be Federalized, and about the
FBI. Video here.
Lander
spoke about cooperation across
states. Many in-state gun
cases are brought into SDNY,
and EDNY, under trigger-lock
programs, as felon in
possession of a firearm
charges. Often at the
presentments are HSI and
sometimes FBI agents, working
with the so-called Sovereign
District, the title of an
Inner City Press book,
along with City
of Maybe.
Lander
emphasized that he would keep
Commissioner Jessica Tisch. He
was asked, off-topic, about
Andrew Cuomo and spoke about
Cuomo's legal team's discovery
strategy, on which Inner City
Press has reported in
SDNY.
The legal
aspects of the campaigns
continue to come into focus,
and Inner City Press' coverage
is ramping up.
