Summary
It’s been about a week since federal agents seized the phones of New York Police Commissioner Edward Caban and other top NYPD officials. Caban is one of a few top deputies in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration who are currently under investigation by federal authorities, though details are so far scant. But it’s yet another potential stain on the oldest, largest, and arguably most scandal-prone police department in the country. Chenjerai Kumanyika, host of Crooked and Wondery’s new podcast ‘Empire City,’ talks about the ‘untold origin story’ of the NYPD.
And in headlines: Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed a vote on a six-month government spending bill, federal inspectors warned of an “imminent threat” to food safety at a Boar’s Head plant in Virginia, and an Ohio man begged former President Donald Trump and other Republicans to stop politicizing the death of his son.

| 0:34.7 | shut down looms. Yay! And there's a lot of weird stuff Republicans are saying |

| 0:43.4 | federal agents seized the phone of New York's police commissioner Edward |
| 0:46.8 | Caban and some other top police officials. Caban is one of a few top |
| 0:51.0 | deputies and Mayor Eric Adams administration who are being |
| 0:53.4 | investigated by federal authorities and though details about this |

| 1:05.2 | brewing scandal for the NYPD the largest the oldest and perhaps the most scandal |
| 1:10.8 | prone police department in the country. |
| 1:13.0 | And that's really saying something. |
| 1:14.4 | It really is. |
| 1:15.0 | It's also yet another scandal for Adams, who also had its phone seized by the FBI in another |
| 1:20.2 | probe. |
| 1:21.1 | The Adams administration has reportedly encouraged Cabond to step down, |
