(Yes I know it's) Foxnews.com: De Blasio accused of strong-arming Sanders over debate
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/04/06/de-blasio-accused-strong-arming-sanders-over-debate.htmlsnip
Bill de Blasio, New York City’s Democratic mayor, is being accused of violating conflict of interest laws by wading into the negotiations between Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) over a proposed presidential debate in New York.
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, an ethics watchdog group, says that de Blasio strong-armed Sanders into agreeing to debate on Clinton’s terms by baiting the Vermont senator with permits for a rally in the city later this month. The group argues that de Blasio’s actions advanced the interests of Clinton, whom the mayor endorsed last October.
