New York Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio crony Jona Rechnitz revealed in court Friday that he treated his NYPD pals to an all-expenses-paid trip to Miami to catch a college football championship game \u2014 complete with prostitutes as \u201centertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rechnitz said he took then-NYPD Deputy Chiefs James McCarthy and Andrew Capul and now-retired cops Eddie Gardner and Stephen McAllister, who is now the police commissioner in Floral Park, LI, on the jaunt to the BCS National Championship game in 2013. It was the first time the alleged trip has come to light.<\/p>\n

The deep-pocketed real estate investor paid for travel, \u201ca suite to watch the game, food, everything,\u201d he told jurors in Manhattan federal court.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you pay for entertainment?\u201d prosecutor Martin Bell asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d said Rechnitz, who is cooperating with feds in a bid for leniency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was the nature of the entertainment?\u201d Bell continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cProstitutes,\u201d Rechnitz responded.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old de Blasio donor-turned-felon was testifying in the ongoing trial for Norman Seabrook, the once-powerful head of the New York City corrections officers union.<\/p>\n

Rechnitz has testified that he helped hedge fund pal Murray Huberfeld bribe Seabrook in exchange for the union investing in the failed fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
