Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s press secretary admitted that he was pals with the convicted fraudster behind the Fyre Festival — but insisted he had no involvement with planning the shady event, which is the focus of a new Netflix documentary.

“We were friends,” Angelo Roefaro told The Post about festival co-founder Billy McFarland, who is serving time on fraud charges connected to the festival. “I met him at a networking event and we got along.”

In the documentary “Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened,” Roefaro is seen hanging out in McFarland’s penthouse suite in The Tuscany Hotel.

“That night, as a result of a TV show or movie being filmed in his apartment, he had a very nice complimentary penthouse hotel room near my own apartment and invited me over to check it out,” Roefaro said about McFarland.

“I had no idea they were filming a movie and only knew him. I was completely surprised.”

During the clip, Roefaro sits on a couch as a videographer speculates that he is helping McFarland with PR work.

“There’s a guy named Angelo and I don’t know if it was Billy’s PR guy, but I know that this guy was very connected,” the videographer says.

But Roefaro replied “absolutely not” when asked about the implication in the film that he had been working with the disgraced festival founder to avoid jail.

McFarland, at that point, had been out on bail before being sentenced to six years in prison for defrauding $26 million from investors in the 2017 Fyre Festival, which promised to be a blowout luxury concert on a Bahamanian island but was so poorly planned, it had to be canceled after many guests arrived to find refugee camp-like conditions.

And although he is identified in the film as “press secretary for Senator Chuck Schumer,” Roefaro reiterated that he was not at the penthouse in any official capacity.
