NYC Mayor’s Legal Defense Fund Fires Donor After He Tells Reporter To “Go Suck Some Dick Somewhere”

April 18, 2024 Democrats, Politics

Politico reports:

One of Mayor Eric Adams’ fundraising entities on Wednesday fired the security and private investigative firm run by longtime friend and donor Bo Dietl shortly after Dietl berated a POLITICO reporter.

Dietl’s company was hired to vet donors to Adams’ legal defense trust — a fundraising entity to help pay legal bills connected to a federal probe into Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign. In January, the organization paid Dietl’s firm just under $13,000.

When asked for comment Wednesday afternoon about the services he was paid to perform for the trust, Dietl told a POLITICO reporter: “Why don’t you do me a favor. Go suck somebody’s dick, because I don’t want to talk to you, OK? You like to suck dick? Go suck dick somewhere.” He then hung up the phone.

Mediaite reports:

Dietl was a longtime NYPD detective who transitioned into entertainment and politics. He wrote an autobiography titled One Tough Cop in 1998 that was turned into a movie, and he made appearances in films like Goodfellas and Wolf of Wall Street. In politics, he previously unsuccessfully ran for New York City mayor. He’s also worked as a private investigator for people like Steve Bannon.

In 2017, I photographed Dietl marching in the NYC Pride parade during his run for mayor. You may recall his line in Goodfellas, “See ya in Attica, dickhead.”
