Mastro/Behar FOIL Lawsuit — Day-One Executive Orders Records Withheld, Mastro Legal Flank Widens

Investigative journalist Richard Behar (represented by former Adams First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro) sued Mamdani in Manhattan State Supreme Wed Jun 10, 2026 over delayed FOIL records on the Day-One executive orders Mamdani rescinded — Adams's Israel-boycott ban and IHRA antisemitism-definition adoption. Court granted expedited review. Adds a Mastro-led legal flank parallel to his outstanding Adams-CRC dissolution suit threat.

Behar told mid-June that Mamdani's office will not produce responsive documents — if at all — until November, on a decision Adams's former first deputy and Behar counsel Randy Mastro called impossible to take six months to document because "the decision was made on the first day." JNS / Cleveland Jewish News / Jewish News coverage frames this as the widest delay yet across the Day-One EO rollback FOILs; Mastro now signaling additional filings before Labor Day if production slips again.
