The New York Post reports that Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be a witness in the trial that opens September 12, in the matter of the money that Bloomberg contributed to the Independence Party and which the Independence Party then passed on to John Haggerty. Haggerty was to use the money to help the Bloomberg re-election campaign in 2009, but according to the indictment, he did not use the money on the campaign, but diverted it to his own use.
