Two months after directing $2 million in state funds to a charitable group, Sheldon Silver pressed the head of that organization to give a job to the son of a doctor who was enriching the then-Assembly speaker through medical referrals, a witness testified Thursday.

David Mandel, the head of OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services, told a Manhattan federal jury Thursday that Silver, 74, reached out to him twice seeking a job for Dr. Robert Taub’s son, who was hired in volunteer outreach for a $30,000-plus salary.

Silver first reached out in May 2012, two months after the powerful pol directed $2 million in taxpayer money to OHEL for a summer camp, Mandel said. After Silver tried again a month later, Mandel told his staff to find a position for Taub’s son, Jonathan, emails showed. Silver is on retrial in Manhattan federal court on kickback charges.
