Newly sworn-in Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani has appointed Ramzi Kassem as Chief Counsel, a man who defended Al Qaeda after 9/11.

“I am delighted to announce that I am naming Ramzi Kassem as Chief Counsel. Ramzi will be joining the administration from CUNY, where he serves as a professor of law. Government service is no novel concept for Ramzi, who served as a senior policy advisor for President Biden from 2022 to 2024 and has deep experience arguing in court, including before the Supreme Court.

I will turn to Ramzi for his remarkable experience and his commitment to defending those too often abandoned by our legal system. City Hall will be stronger with him in it, and our work of building a more prosperous city for all will have a powerful advocate.

My sincere hope is that New Yorkers who have long felt on the margins of this city—the homeless veterans straining to survive, the patient searching for the care that they need, an immigrant trying to get by—will feel that they now have leaders in their corner who understand their struggles and care to fight for them.

The city I want to build, the prosperity I intend to deliver, and the leadership that has too long been lacking.”
