NYC Council grills Mamdani’s Department of Investigation commissioner nominee over campaign activities and donation

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pick to run the city’s Department of Investigation (DOI), a corruption watchdog, faced pointed questions from City Council members Monday over her own support for his campaign.

Legislators peppered Nadia Shihata about her past political support for Mamdani, including making $700 in donations and a stint canvassing on his behalf, and pressed her on whether she could independently investigate the administration that selected her.
