Even though he's running for re-election to the US Senate, Cory Booker refuses to answer key questions about millions siphoned from a commission he chaired.
The questions for the former Newark mayor boil down to two:
Did he know about the taxpayer dollars that went to enrich his pals at the Newark Watershed Conservation and Development Corp. while he was chairman? And were checks he continued to receive from his law firm after becoming mayor a quid pro quo?
These questions take on a new importance now that a federal prosecutor is looking into them, as The Post's Carl Campanile reported Monday.
Booker's law firm of Trenk, DiPasquale made $2 million doing legal work for the city of Newark — $1 million on the watershed alone.
Meanwhile, the firm continued to pay Booker $700,000 throughout most of his mayoral tenure — including a final payment of $30,000 in 2012 that was "accidentally" left off his subsequent federal disclosure forms.
Booker has been all over the map with explanations, first denying the firm paid him or that he did any work for the firm, then blaming omissions on an accounting error, then saying the payments were from a "confidential" separation agreement.
If a written copy of his separation agreement with Trenk, DiPasquale exists, Booker could clear up much of the confusion simply by releasing it. Why won't he?
