NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio Busted for Using Taxpayer Funds for Personal and Political Expenses

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio used the city’s police department for his and his family’s personal benefit, as well as to assist his 2020 presidential bid, according to a report.

New York City’s Department of Investigation this week released a 47-page report that concluded de Blasio violated conflict of interest procedures.

The New York City Department of Investigation opened a probe into de Blasio’s security detail in August 2019, the report said.
