New York City will sever all of its management contracts with the Trump Organization, costing the outgoing president millions of dollars in annual revenue, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday. De Blasio said the contracts allowed the city to break them if a vendor's leadership broke the law, and said Trump's "inciting an insurrection" was clearly a "criminal act." He said in his daily briefing he was still in disbelief. "The fact that there was an insurrection of the United States Capitol to begin with, we've never seen that in the history of this country," de Blasio said. "The fact that it was fomented and directed by the president of the United States is something out of the most fictional possibilities you could have imagined before Donald Trump."
