In what was the sharpest jab of the first mayoral debate of the season, Maya Wiley took Andrew Yang to task on Sunday over reports that his campaign had used confidentiality agreements and cultivated a culture that was described as demeaning to women.
“As a civil rights lawyer, I was shocked to hear that you have a nondisclosure agreement, that sounds very Trumpian,” Wiley said to Yang. Will you commit to allowing your campaign staff to complain publicly about workplace misconduct?”

Yang filed papers with the New York City Campaign Finance Board Wednesday to join the race. Yang, a CNN commentator following his run for president, now arguably has the highest national profile of any of the candidates.
