The political action group that paid workers to hand out campaign literature for Eric Blackwell’s unsuccessful run against City Council member Letitia James in the September Democratic primary will fold, according to sources.

The group, Community Leadership for Accountable Politics (CLAP), allegedly paid the workers from the Brooklyn United for Innovative Development (BUILD) office at 640 Pacific Street.

Both BUILD, which as a non-profit organization is barred from engaging in political campaigns, and CLAP shared some of the same officers.
