De Blasio Had NYPD Cops Take His Son To Yale, Report Says

NEW YORK — Mayor Bill de Blasio had NYPD cops shuttle his son to and from Yale University before he graduated this spring, a new report says.

The Demoratic mayor directed members of his security detail to drive his son, Dante, to and from the Ivy League school on more than half a dozen occasions, the New York Daily News reported Monday.

When Dante — who recently worked on his dad's failed presidential campaign — decided he wanted to travel by train in his sophomore year, cops frequently picked him up from Penn Station, the story says.

"There was no justification," a former member of the NYPD's Executive Protection Unit told the Daily News. "If you were told to bring him home from Yale, that’s what we did."

The city's Department of Investigation is reportedly probing the mayor's unusual orders to his police detail — but unnamed sources told the paper that the inquiry may be focused more on leaks to the press than how de Blasio used the cops.

An NYPD spokesperson declined to talk with the Daily News about how the department protects the mayor.
