NEW YORK (WABC) -- Scandalous allegations have surfaced against Charles Hynes, the former district attorney of Brooklyn.
The New York City Department of Investigation says Hynes improperly used money seized from drug dealers to pay for a political consultant in last year's election.
The DOI report was revealed by the New York Times which reported that Hynes used the money from dealers and other criminal defendants to pay a political consultant more than $200,000 for his work on Hynes's unsuccessful re-election campaign last year.
