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

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio settled his historic tab with New York City over the misuse of his NYPD security detail during his short-lived presidential bid.De Blasio will have to shell out nearly $330,000 to repay taxpayers after he repeatedly tapped cops for “political purposes” — including covering the tab for his detail to attend a Red Sox game in Los Angeles during a campaign trip, which The Post exclusively revealed.The Conflict of Interest Board slapped the former mayor with a $155,000 fine in 2022 following an extensive city Department of Investigation probe the year prior that skewered de Blasio’s action during his four-month failed attempt to get the Democratic nomination for president.The settlement struck Wednesday forced de Blasio to pony up $100,000 up front but reduced the fine to just $10,000.He then has to continue to make payments of $14,000 every three months.But if he defaults, the ex-mayor would be on the hook for the full $475,000 tab.“This settlement brings to a successful conclusion the first ever enforcement action brought by the Board against a Mayor of the City of New York,” COIB wrote in a release.“Today I settled an outstanding case with the NYC COIB.I acknowledge that I made a mistake, and I deeply regret it.

Now it’s time to move forward,” Blaz wrote on social media in response....
