Bo Dietl, the notoriously foul-mouthed head of an eponymous security and private investigation firm, was a contractor connected to the trust.

Less than two hours after being informed of Dietl’s remarks, the trust’s counsel, Vito Pitta, condemned Dietl and told POLITICO he would be let go. The Democratic New York mayor almost never publicly admonishes or fires problematic aides, particularly ones with whom he has a long history, like Dietl — a fellow New York Police Department alum.
According to Pitta, legal defense funds operate differently than campaigns because donations can only be returned by the fund’s trustee — in this case, Peter Aschkenasy, a restaurateur and longtime Adams ally. Pitta, who also serves as the compliance attorney for Adams’ campaigns, declined to comment when asked if the Eisenreichs’ donations to the trust would be returned. Eisenreich did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
