NEW YORK (AP) – Aides to Mayor Bill de Blasio have been subpoenaed by state and federal prosecutors amid investigations into his campaign fundraising operation, his administration said.
City Hall received subpoenas from the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan and from the Manhattan district attorney’s office, mayoral counsel Maya Wiley said Wednesday.
A statement issued by Wiley said de Blasio had not been “personally served,” but it didn’t reveal the subject or recipients of the subpoenas. Follow-up inquiries to the mayor’s office went unanswered Wednesday night.
De Blasio, a Democrat serving his first term as mayor, has not been accused of any wrongdoing and has said he and his team did not violate any campaign finance laws. The mayor and his administration were fully cooperating with the ongoing probes, Wiley said.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment. A spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
