Grand juries hear testimony in de Blasio fund-raising probes
Federal and state grand juries have begun hearing testimony in criminal investigations of Mayor de Blasio’s fund-raising.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is said to be presenting evidence in a probe of how de Blasio collected large sums of money for a since disbanded nonprofit organization called the Campaign for One New York.
The New York Times reported that Bharara's panel is examining whether the mayor or aides gave donors helpful city action in exchange for contributions in a half dozen matters. An explicit quid-pro-quo or excessive pressure to donate would be federal felonies.
Separately, Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. has issued subpoenas and taken witness testimony in connection with additional large sums raised by de Blasio’s team in an attempt to switch the state Senate from Republican to Democratic control through upstate elections.
Vance is focused on whether de Blasio's routing of the money constituted an end-run misdemeanor violation of the state election law.
