Why?
Illegal campaign donations
In June 2016, the New York Post claimed Mateo had admitted to illegally donating $18,800 to Mayor Bill de Blasio's re-election campaign.[17] The incident was part of a larger controversy around de Blasio's campaign fundraising activities; the same year, Mateo was questioned by the FBI about his role in introducing de Blasio associates Jona Rechnitz and Jeremy Reichberg to Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino,[18] all of whom subsequently became embroiled in a corruption scandal.[19] While Mateo's stated motivation for donating to de Blasio was to help an acquaintance find a city job,[17] the Post would speculate that Mateo expected "a lot of access and influence with the [Mayor's] office" in exchange for the donations.[20] Mateo was not charged with a crime for these activities, and blames de Blasio for the scheme.[21]
