Chinese authorities have recently cracked down on platforms that allow users to share media from outlets that are not sanctioned under state -
issued licenses, amid a wider censorship
campaign spearheaded by President Xi Jinping.
Mr. Bharara's office, as well as state prosecutors, have now also
issued subpoenas to Nyclass, a group that donated to the mayor's
campaign, and had
spearheaded an effort to ban horse carriages in the city, according to Michael McKeon, a spokesman for the group.
