Continuing their surprising political bromance, President Donald Trump and Mayor Zohran Mamdani met at Gracie Mansion this week ahead of the president's speech at the United Nations. It was the first visit to the mayoral residence by a sitting president since Ronald Reagan met with then-Mayor Ed Koch in 1981. The U.N. gathering also brought renewed tension between Mamdani and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who harshly criticized the mayor during his address. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena discuss an eventful week in city politics, with the U.N. General Assembly as the backdrop. After that, the "Off Topic" team looks at a City Council hearing on the Mamdani administration's use of an encrypted app to communicate with social media influencers. They discuss questions about preserving public records and the line between government messaging and political promotion.
