It looks like most of the expenses were fairly legitimate. He was required to have police escorts at all time and the expenses of them following him, wherever he goes, are valid. The weird aspect of this is that the charges were made to various agencies rather than to the NYPD.

Did he really, or is this another irratating political lie?

I'd guess it was to hide the fact that he was having an extramarital affair.

Betcha that "police escorts will be provided as needed" is closer to the actual phrasing than "the mayor must have police escorts at all times." And that the mayor decides upon need.

This is just another attempt by the stinking liberals to sully the name of a great American leader.
Really, what happened was he skimmed the money to pay for a fair.
