MAMDANI--AT IT AGAIN.....HANDS SYMBOLIC 9/11 PEN TO LAWYER WHO ONCE REPRESENTED AL-QAEDA TERRORIST

Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order recognizing 9/11 Friday — and then gave the symbolic pen to his controversial aide who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist with links to the attack on the Pentagon.

Administration officials were gathered at City Hall for a pair of executive orders — ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — one establishing a Day of Remembrance and another beefing up security against future terror threats.

After Mamdani signed the last of the documents, Hizzoner gave Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch the ceremonial pen, and whispered, “Can you pass this?” Tisch awkwardly handed it to Mamdani’s chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who just snuck into the press conference, before she hurried out of the Blue Room — the first official to exit the press conference.

"It was calculated,” retired detective and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice Michael Alcazar told The Post. “It happened during a ceremony meant to be about the victims, and no one else. .... MORE AT Exclusive | Mamdani gives symbolic 9/11 pen to former al-Qaeda lawyer aide

UPDATE: THE PENNSYLVANIA MEASLES DEBACLE WORSENS--BERENSON

The dishonesty and hypocrisy surrounding the two “measles-associated” deaths in Pennsylvania are even worse than they first seemed.

Yesterday, the coroner in the county where the deaths took place reported the details of the second death, which Pennsylvania’s governor had previously refused to disclose. The death occurred in a six-week-old infant girl with a genetic disorder called “Amish lethal microencephalopathy.” The disorder causes a severely shrunken head and brain. Children who have it die within a few months of birth.

Because measles caused the respiratory crisis that killed the baby, it technically was an underlying cause of her death, according to Lancaster County coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni. But in an interview with a local news outlet called Lancaster Online, Diamantoni made the truth of the case clear: MORE AT UPDATE: The Pennsylvania measles debacle worsens
