A video has surfaced on social media showing people outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York Mayor Zohran, yelling “That’s right, we know about your mom,” after the US Justice Department released new Jeffrey Epstein-related records that mentioned his mother, filmmaker Mira Nair.
The locals were heard shouting “shame.” They added, “Now listen. We were with you, Zohran. We voted for you, Zohran. We advocated for you, Zohran. You get up in here and lie to us!”
The incident was reported after the newly released documents showed an email dated October 21, 2009, sent by publicist Peggy Siegal to Jeffrey Epstein after Mamdani’s film-director mother Mira Nair left an afterparty at convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s house for her film “Amelia.”
“Just left Ghislaine’s townhouse…after party for film,” the publicist’s email read as reported by New York Post.
Furthermore, the email stated that Maxwell’s party was also attended by former President Bill Clinton and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. It read: “Bill Clinton and Jeff Bezos were there…Jean Pigozzi, director Mira Nair…etc. Film received tepid reaction though women like it much more…Hillary Swank and [Richard] Gere are at stupid party in Bloomingdales cheap sportswear department…very weird.”
Last week, the US Department of Justice had released to the public over three million pages of FBI documents, including 2,000 videos and 1,80,000 images.
This is the latest release after a period of six weeks when the department missed a legal deadline set by President Donald Trump, who signed a law mandating that all Epstein-related documents be shared with the public.
Maxwell, Epstein’s former partner was convicted of sex trafficking a minor and other charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Mira Nair’s 2009 biopic “Amelia,” stars Hilary Swank as an aviator and Richard Gere as her husband, publisher George Putnam.
