CNN’s Abby Phillip apologizes for saying NYC bombing attempt targeted Mamdani

Published



CNN anchor Abby Phillip said she “didn’t catch” an inaccurate statement she made on Tuesday regarding the bombing attempt in New York City.

Authorities said Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, have been charged with providing material support to ISIS and using a weapon of mass destruction on Monday. The two suspects attempted to deploy two makeshift bombs at a protest outside Gracie Mansion, the residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
