(The Center Square) — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has received his federal security clearance for classified briefings, which comes nine months after he was sworn into office. Mamdani told reporters at a Wednesday press briefing that he has received official clearance from the Trump administration, following last week's high-profile meeting with President Donald Trump at Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence. The new federal clearance, approved in the past week by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, means the mayor is now able to receive classified documents and briefings related to New York City, which is considered a major target for terrorist attacks. Mamdani's office told reporters the mayor has been receiving information about security issues from New York City Police Department briefings until now. Mamdani, a former assembly member from Queens, won last year's crowded race for mayor to become the city's first Muslim leader. But he has faced criticism over his previous statements on Israel that critics say legitimize terrorist organizations, such as Hamas. The mayor has repeatedly said his criticism of the Israeli government doesn't equate to support for terrorist groups. To be sure, Mamdani's lengthy wait for credentials appears to be the norm, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, which has faulted the federal government for delays in issuing clearances to elected officials. A 2026 report by the federal watchdog revealed that federal agencies are taking an average of seven months to approve about 90% of security clearance requests. The federal government sets a benchmark of 114 days. It's not clear whether Mamdani's cordial meeting with Trump last week helped grease the wheels on his security clearance approval. Trump has been accused of revoking similar federal clearances for other Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, both of whom have led criminal and civil cases against the president and his family. The president has also stripped former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who served under his first administration, of Secret Service protection. And former Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, had his clearance revoked following a federal indictment last year, which was later dismissed by the U.S. Department of Justice. Adam's left office in January after declining to run for reelection amid a swirl of scandals that had engulfed his office.

(The Center Square) – Christa Pike survived two injections that were to be lethal, fulfilling a Tennessee death penalty sentence Wednesday evening and was taken to a hospital for care, according to her lawyers. Her condition remained publicly unknown at time of publication. It’s the second time the state has experienced a failed execution this year. Second-term Republican Gov. Bill Lee said a third-party review is forthcoming to determine what happened, and the only other execution planned this calendar year is on pause in the interim in addition to that of Pike. “This is a tragedy,” Lee said on Thursday. “There is no one that wanted what happened last night to happen. It shouldn’t have happened.” Witnesses say the 50-year-old was snoring after being given two doses of pentobarbital, the second having been administered at 8:26 p.m. local time. At 8:53 p.m., the microphone and speaker system for the viewing area was silenced and media witnesses were escorted out. An ambulance took her from the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. Lawyers filed an emergency motion to the state Supreme Court on Wednesday night seeking a stay, citing “unnecessary agony,” and violation of the right to execution free of cruel and unusual punishment. Motions were also filed to a district court and the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Tennessee’s protocol is a second set of drug syringes “if the inmate is not deceased.” There’s no direction for what to do if the inmate is alive after two attempts. Earlier Wednesday, a 10 a.m. execution was scuttled by a stay from the 6th Circuit. On Monday, Lee had said he would not stop the execution, and Tuesday the state Supreme Court also refused to stop it. The last Tennessee woman dying from the death penalty was Martin Eve in 1820 by hanging. According to testimony and prosecutors, Pike was 18 in 1995 when 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer was killed. Prosecutors say Pike and two accomplices tortured, slashed and fatally beat her at the University of Tennessee. All were part of a Job Corps training program. A pentagram was carved into Slemmer’s chest. Investigators say Pike bragged of keeping a skull fragment as a “souvenir.” She was also convicted of attempted murder in 2001 after trying to strangle another prisoner with a shoestring. Tony Carruthers is the other Tennessee inmate this year to have endured a failed execution. Executioners failed for more than an hour to place an IV to administer pentobarbital. He was convicted of killing three people in 1994. Eighteen women have been put to death since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. An execution in Florida on Tuesday was the 29th in the nation this year.
