'No one is above the law,' Novakhov said in a statement.
New York State Assembly Member Michael Novakhov (R-NY) has formally requested that the U.S. Department of Justice investigate Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the City of New York, and the State of New York for alleged federal law violations. In a statement, Novakhov accused Mamdani of fueling antisemitism and said he was fulfilling a campaign promise to hold him accountable. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar requests from Congressman Addison McDowell (R-NC) and former New York Governor David Paterson, both of whom cited Mamdani's anti-Israel rhetoric and alleged ties to hostile entities. Mamdani, who became mayor after winning the June primary, has faced widespread criticism from Israeli officials and Jewish community leaders for his statements and actions.
