Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance and Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim announced earlier this month they would not press charges against de Blasio over his political fundraising, although they highlighted a number of ways the mayor had apparently circumvented election law and

favor of the student plaintiffs and helped
deliver a win for all of California's six million
public school students.
