Mayor Bloomberg, on WOR Radio this morning, addressed the prospects for moving the terror trials from Lower Manhattan. Bloomberg said he talked with Attorney General Eric Holder yesterday – and he cautioned that no decisions have been made. The mayor, in his own words (via the Daily News):
The president did not call me and say, ‘Mike, this is what I’m doing’ and I said, ‘Barack, thanks… I think they understand (our concerns) and are trying to do something… It would be easier for the people of New York if it was elsewhere, and hopefully from the perspective of the country of increasing our security, they’ll do the right thing. We’ll see what happens.”
