Clark Mayor Sal Bonaccorso stated in a nearly five-minute video that the remarks were a "mistake" and that he is "embarrassed and ashamed," adding that he has changed.

The Republican politician was accused of using the N-word and the term "spooks" to describe Black people, as well as criticizing female officers, the outlet says.

Even after NJ Advance Media revealed that the township hid the 2020 recordings from the public eye in a legal settlement, paying $400,000 to a whistleblower, the investigation continues.
