NEW YORK (AP) – New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is refusing to take questions about the latest revelations surrounding his embattled top aide.

Rachel Noerdlinger is the highly visible chief of staff to first lady Chirlane McCray.

A Department of Investigation probe last week concluded that she didn’t disclose that she lived with her boyfriend, a convicted felon.

It didn’t recommend that she be disciplined. De Blasio has repeatedly defended her.

The news website DNAinfo.com reported Friday that she and her underage son were in the car with her boyfriend in 2011 when he was arrested for marijuana possession.
