Bill de Blasio to pay NYC nearly $330K for misusing NYPD security detail during failed White House bid

"Former Mayor Bill de Blasio has settled a historic $330,000 tab with NYC over the misuse of his NYPD security detail during his presidential bid."

"This settlement concludes the first-ever enforcement action by the Conflict of Interest Board against a sitting Mayor of New York City."

Bill de Blasio settled a $330,000 claim with New York City for misusing police security during his short-lived presidential campaign. This followed a $155,000 fine imposed by the Conflict of Interest Board after an investigation revealed he used his detail for political purposes, such as attending a Red Sox game. The settlement, announced by the COIB, involves an upfront payment of $100,000 and quarterly payments of $14,000, with a warning that non-compliance could lead to a full $475,000 charge. Blasio acknowledged his mistake on social media.
