I know you answered this somewhat earlier, but should the mayor be represented by the law department in a sex assault case?
4:29:53
You went you had a long answer.
4:29:55
Yes or no here.
Randy Mastro
4:29:59
Well, again, that that depends.
4:30:01
It's it's not a a yes or no.
4:30:03
I know there is a representation in this regard and there has been outside counsel that has been brought in, but I'm not familiar with the circumstance or how the law department made that determination.
4:30:14
And I've committed to review their protocols, how they made those decisions, and to review those decisions and call it as I see it after I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do that.
