‘I’m not exaggerating’: John Yoo calls for federal probe into Mamdani

A Berkeley law professor called on President Donald Trump’s Justice Department to investigate a big city mayor after alleged threats to a foreign leader.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxHOeSrZaG8From keffiyeh-clad street shouting to embracing an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing on the campaign trail, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) has done little to dispel concerns about appearing to be a pro-Hamas communist looking to dismantle the American republic alongside his Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) peers.
Now, after Hizzoner recently reiterated his view that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested the next time he sets foot in the Big Apple, University of California, Berkeley law professor John Yoo wants to see Trump’s DOJ investigate Mamdani for allegedly violating federal law.
Appearing on Fox News with anchor Gillian Turner, the legal scholar expressed, “I think the mayor needs to read the Constitution and the laws of the United States first before he starts throwing out baseless accusations of genocide and violating international law … I think personally that Israel has every right to defend itself and has been doing so consistent with the laws of war.”
“But this is a question of the sovereignty of the United States, which the mayor apparently does not believe in,” continued Yoo, who reminded that neither the U.S. nor Israel are bound to the International Criminal Court and local governments “cannot interfere with the federal government’s … control over foreign policy.”
