2020-02-22 |
[NYPOST] Mayor Bill de Blasio![]() ’s failed presidential campaign is more than $22,000 in the red because of legal fees related to a federal fundraising probe, new election filings show. The mayor, who raised $1.4 million during his failed White House run, only has $8,022 left on hand in the federal campaign account ‐ while owing $30,350 to the Washington, DC-based law firm of Trister, Ross, Schadler & Gold for legal services. The firm billed him for legal work on a Federal Election Commission probe into alleged fundraising violations by his campaign. Council members Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) and Robert Holden (D-Queens) said that news of the debt explains why de Blasio didn’t use campaign funds to pay off $358,000 in costs racked up by his NYPD security detail racked on the campaign trail.
