Amid affair, Giuliani billed city for security November 29, 2007 boston.com A political website reported yesterday that as New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses while he was starting an extramarital affair. The Politico said it had obtained previously undisclosed government records under New York's freedom of information law that show the expenses had nothing to do with the functions of the agencies and show three summers of visits to the Long Island town where Judith Nathan, who is now his third wife, had an apartment. At the time, Giuliani's office refused to explain the accounting to city auditors, citing "security," The Politico reported. Auditors looking at expenses in 1999 and 2000 "were unable to verify that these expenses were for legitimate or necessary purposes," the city's comptroller wrote in a letter The Politico obtained. The Giuliani campaign issued a statement last night, saying, "This is common practice. The NYPD is responsible for providing security for the mayor of New York around the clock." Giuliani has acknowledged the affair and has repeatedly said during his campaign that he has made mistakes in his personal life.
