New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio paid his son $650 a week for nearly seven weeks for working as a “policy adviser” on his now-ended presidential campaign.

De Blasio’s son, Dante, worked for his father’s presidential campaign from Aug. 1 to Sept. 16, according to the New York Post. Dante had graduated from Yale University in May before he and his college friend Ashtan Towles joined de Blasio’s campaign.
