In an, Mr Seldowitz was quoted as saying: " I regret the whole thing happened and I'm sorry.
" But you know, in The Heat of The Moment , I said things that probably I shouldn't have said. "

A press release issued by The Company in November 2022 called him The Firm 's " Foreign Affairs Chair".
But David Schwartz , Gotham's founder and president, said that Mr Seldowitz hadn't done any work for The Firm for about five years and that the title was an honorary one.
" I Am incensed, I Am outraged, and I Am Beyond Words , " Mr Schwartz told The Bbc .
" This is not the person that I knew, he was very intelligent, he was honoured by The State department and won three awards.
" But when I saw that video, within seconds I knew we had to act, and I did not hesitate. We have severed all ties. "
Many New Yorkers have expressed support on Social Media for Mr Hussein, the food truck vendor.
New York Mayor Eric Adams posted on X: " Islamophobia is hate. Plain and simple.
" This vile, disrespectful rhetoric has no home in our city. We reject it - and we're glad to see we're not alone. "
