Comrade de Blasio is in Deep Shit in N Y, Federal Prosecutors Cast a Wider Net in New York City Hall Inquiry

A federal grand jury in Manhattan has begun hearing evidence in the case, according to several people briefed on the matter. The inquiry has come to focus on the two fund-raisers: Jona Rechnitz, who raised money for Mr. de Blasio’s campaign and was also a donor to both the campaign and to a nonprofit group that supported the mayor’s agenda; and Jeremy Reichberg, who held a fund-raiser for that nonprofit.

Federal wiretaps in the case have captured their conversations, two of the people said, without elaborating on the substance of the discussions.
