One day shy of his first 100 days in office, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was hit with his first potential political scandal.
A lawsuit filed by a subordinate of a woman Mamdani appointed to run the city’s department of probation — and clean up ethical messes from the previous administration — claims she was fired for blowing the whistle on an “intimate relationship” between her boss and the agency’s top attorney, according to Politico.
And Mamdani himself is already facing public questions about it.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday by now-former city Department of Probation chief investigator Ebony Huntley.
According to the New York Post, Huntley claimed that the Department of Probation Commissioner Sharun Goodwin was engaged in a personal relationship with Wayne McKenzie, the agency’s general counsel.
