The suspect charged with shooting to death the UnitedHealthcare chief executive on a Manhattan street has waived his extradition to New York.



Luigi Mangione's decision to waive his extradition clears the way for his imminent return to New York though it's not known when he will face a judge there. He could appear in state court for arraignment Thursday afternoon or Friday.

Numerous law enforcement sources say the plan as of now is to file federal criminal charges against Mangione in New York Thursday.

He is expected to make an initial appearance in federal court in New York; any court appearance on the state murder charges would be put off for another time and date, though those take precedence over federal ones. www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/lui…

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz on Thursday announced that he would withdraw himself from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general.



Gaetz, who Trump named last week as his pick for AG, faced significant headwinds in the confirmation process. The former congressman faced an investigation by the Justice Department that involved allegations of sex trafficking and sex with a minor.



Gaetz has vehemently denied those allegations and the investigation ended with the Justice Department electing not to charge Gaetz. www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/mat…

Mayor Eric Adams has named Jessica Tisch, current sanitation commissioner, the new head of the NYPD.

Interim commissioner Tom Donlon is stepping aside to pave the way for Tisch to helm the largest police force in the nation. She has past experience as a crime strategy expert with the NYPD, spending 12 of her 17 years with the city in that department.

Former NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban resigned in September amid a federal investigation into the department's nightclub enforcement.

The Manhattan district attorney's office says the judge on President-elect Donald Trump's hush money case can hold off on sentencing pending the resolution of other legal challenges, according to court papers filed Tuesday.



New York Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump's historic trial, had been scheduled to decide last week to toss out the jury verdict and order a new trial — or even dismiss the charges altogether. The judge's ruling was also expected to speak to whether the former and now future commander-in-chief will be sentenced as scheduled Nov. 26.



Ultimately, it's up to him, and only him, to decide how to proceed.

If significant rain doesn't fall soon, it could lead to mandatory water restrictions.



State geologist Steven Domber said water levels are declining across New Jersey. The drought warning establishes a formal process for the DEP to work with water suppliers in affected regions to ensure no single water supplier or region faces a significant shortfall if dry weather and high customer demand continue. www.nbcnewyork.com/new-jersey/drought-warning-what…
