The sighting took place in SoHo on Friday, August 11, where de Blasio, looking slim and trim, sported a black polo shirt, cream-colored chinos, blue New Balance running sneakers, and his recently dyed-brown locks. His former policy analyst accompanied him, wearing a one-piece button-up light brown dress and platformed shoes.
In response to the photographs, the 62-year-old former mayor spoke to The Post, explaining that the meeting with Batchu was solely to offer her career advice.
He claimed, “She asked if we could meet to discuss some career choices she has to make. I have conversations like that with people who worked for me all the time. That’s all there is to it.”
