    New York weed shops are stocking their shelves with Mike Tyson-branded edibles shaped like an ear with a bite mark – a callback to Iron Mike’s heavyweight showdown with Evander Holyfield. The 57-year-old Brooklyn native — who’s planning a comeback fight against Jake Paul in July — is rolling out his Tyson 2.0 brand “Mike Bites” and he’s planning a promotional blitz at shops next month, including an event in Times Square, a spokesperson told The Post.

    Mayor Adams broke bread with a crew of loiterers and alleged drug dealers who have been using a Burger King blocks from City Hall as their headquarters, a witness to the unusual Whopper summit told The Post. Hizzoner even apparently offered them jobs — and was offered ganja himself, the witness said. The day after The Post exposed the rowdy miscreants who prompted a fed-up resident to file a $15 million lawsuit against the fast food joint, Adams rolled up to 106 Fulton St. in a black suburban last Sunday at about 2 p.m. He walked inside the Burger King,...
  • Manhattan DA doubles down on Michael Cohen as star witness in ‘hush money’ trial, as Trump lawyers rip gag order bid

    Manhattan prosecutors on Tuesday pushed back on Donald Trump’s bid to keep Michael Cohen from testifying at the upcoming “hush money” criminal trial, arguing the ex-president’s attorneys will be welcome to grill his former fixer — when he takes the stand. The argument from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg came a day after Trump’s camp ripped a proposed gag order that would bar the GOP presidential frontrunner from attacking the case’s witnesses, the court’s staff and families as an “unconstitutional” bid to “assail” him. “American voters have the First Amendment right to hear President Trump’s uncensored voice on all issues...

    A Democratic Congressional Candidate is 'reclaiming her sexuality' after a clip of her working at a Manhattan BDSM dungeon was leaked.

    Canadian pension funds have been among the world’s most prolific buyers of real estate, starting a revolution that inspired retirement plans around the globe to emulate them. Now the largest of them is taking steps to limit its exposure to the most-beleaguered property type — office buildings. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has done three deals at discounted prices, selling its interests in a pair of Vancouver towers, a business park in Southern California and a redevelopment project in Manhattan, with the New York stake offloaded for the eyebrow-raising price of just $1. The worry is those deals may set...

    Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday asked a judge to impose a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump, who is charged in New York with falsifying business records related to hush money he paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. In their request, prosecutors cited what they called Trump's "longstanding and perhaps singular history" of attacking people he considers to be adversaries, including those associated with his other criminal and civil cases. The trial in Trump's hush money case is scheduled to get underway on March 25. Trump is already under a limited gag order in his...

    A high-flying teacher at a Manhattan high school has refused to explain what she was doing in a locked staff bathroom stall with a 17-year-old pupil, or why she later handed him a wad of cash in a stairwell. Shoshana Leffler, 37, remains licensed to teach after resigning from the High School for Health Careers and Sciences last year rather than face questions over the seven-minute tryst that was partially caught on surveillance video. But investigators have concluded the Princeton University graduate 'engaged in an inappropriate relationship' with the boy who should have been in class at the time. 'What...

    Fake heiress Anna Sorokin says her around-the-clock home confinement and ban from social media are “more restrictive” than being behind bars, new court papers show. Sorokin — who rose to infamy under the alter ego Anna Delvey — has been forced to stay in an apartment 24 hours a day for more than a year as she fights deportation and her 2019 conviction for scamming $200,000 from banks and businesses. Now the fraudster is asking a Manhattan federal judge to step in and change the conditions of her house arrest — which ban her from leaving home for any reason...

    One of the most unexpected legacies generated by The Simpsons is the repeated insistences in which the creative team have some form of clairvoyancy, with so many real-world events appearing to be predicted well ahead of time by Springfield’s most famous family. With that in mind, it was inevitable that an episode removed from the airwaves in the aftermath of the September 11th terror attacks gave rise to a predictive conspiracy theory, even if it was nothing more than a matter of coincidence and a show of respect. The first episode of the ninth season, ‘The City of New York...

    The Jeffrey Epstein list of associates unsealed by a US judge has reignited suspicions the pedophile financier was an asset for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. Israel's former prime minister Ehud Barak was identified in the bombshell dossiers Wednesday night. He served as PM from 1991 to 2001 after serving in the IDF for 35 years, rising to Chief of the General Staff. While he is mentioned only fleetingly in the new files - an Epstein victim asked whether she'd ever given Barak a massage - there has long been speculation surrounding his relationship with the financier. Barak met with...
